There’s electricity in Carson every time the ball is snapped. Whether it’s taking a kick return back into enemy territory, slipping through defenders as a wide receiver, or delivering game-changing plays in the open field, Carson is a dynamic weapon who can take over a game from anywhere on the field. Fast, shifty, explosive, Carson’s a do-it-all player who doesn't just play the game, he lights it up.

With over 800 all-purpose yards, 8 touchdowns, and multiple jaw-dropping returns under his belt in JV action, Carson didn’t just contribute, he dominated. And the best part is he’s just getting started. His versatility is rare. He can line up at any skill position and be a threat, forcing defenses to adjust every time he takes the field. What separates him isn’t just his speed or his feel for the game; it’s his mentality. He plays as hard as humanly possible, and every move is fueled by his desire to become the best version of himself.

Carson plays with purpose. Every route, every cut, every rep is a step toward a bigger dream: playing D1 or D2 college football. With a bloodline rooted in the game with cousins and uncles who’ve played at the college level. Carson knows firsthand what it takes to earn that shot. And he’s not waiting for anything to be handed to him. He’s outworking everyone, leading with effort and a team-first mindset. “Just be myself” is more than a phrase, it’s his power source.

When facing adversity, Carson stays calm, focused, and uses those moments to showcase exactly why he belongs. What fuels his fire isn’t attention or stats but  the standard he sets for himself. He’s competing with who he was yesterday, chasing improvement and trusting that consistency will open every door he needs.

Coaches know what to expect when Carson’s on the field: toughness, effort, and unshakable drive. He’s coachable, he listens, and he delivers. The best advice he’s ever received—“be the best version of yourself”—sits at the center of his grind. And that grind is leading him toward something big. After spring break, he’ll be checking out Ferris State—D2 national champs—getting a real look at where he could fit next.

I assess that Carson’s strengths lie in his versatility, explosiveness, and consistent effort. His ability to impact the game across multiple positions, including receiving, returning, and evendefense if needed, makes him a versatile asset. He competes with heart, doesn’t back down, and thrives in space. His football IQ, combined with his athleticism, allows him to see plays before they unfold. A coach can plug him into different roles and trust he’ll deliver.

 Carson has serious potential to become a premier weapon for a college program. As he continues to grow physically and sharpen his technique, his role will only expand. With his work ethic and internal drive, expect his name to become more common among recruiting circles. If he keeps stacking performances and stays healthy, he’s on a strong path toward being an impact player at the D1 or D2 level. Stay tuned.
