ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
2018 All-Detroit 1st Team Offense. Carson did it all for U of Detroit Jesuit in all 3 phases of the game. On defense, he played Safety and Corner. On Offense, he played Wide Receiver, ran the Wildcat, and was the kickoff returner. He is a tremendous athlete that has excelled over the last two seasons. As a corner, he has good size, lateral agility to mirror, physical in press coverage, and can run hip to hip on vertical routes. He does extremely well when the ball is in the air to contest, pick it off, or getting his hand in to break it up. He is a sure tackler that will hit you low and wrap up. He was solid against the run against DeLaSalle and Detroit CC. As a receiver, decent hands tends to catch with his body but doesn’t drop anything. Once he has it secure, he becomes a playmaker. He will juke and jive, cut up field, and was impressive breaking some tackles and carrying defenders to finish runs. Power 5 prospect as a big corner or safety.
Postseason Honors/Statistics/Other NOTES
Caught 26 passes for 328 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 242 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries.
