Michael Carroll

As a College Recruit

Large-framed offensive line prospect with dynamic run blocking ability and a physical edge to his game. Measured in at 6-foot-6, 315 pounds with 33-inch arms and massive 11-inch hands prior to his senior season. Has added good size and has a well-proportioned build. Lines up as an offensive guard and defensive lineman for his high school. A high level functional mover. Highly dangerous as a puller when working to the second level. Blows up linebackers on contact. Uses his large hands and grip strength to manipulate defenders at the point of attack. Plays with a level of nastiness and seeks out contact. Works to finish blocks. Has a strong base, allowing for the ability to anchor in pass pro. Flashes his athleticism and plays with a high effort level on defense, tracking plays down from the back side. Shows his competitive nature in the camp setting and does not back down from matchups with top prospects. Plays in a run heavy offense and will need to continue developing as a pass blocker, but has the traits to improve there with more work. Likely projects along the interior long-term but has the potential to feasibly line up at multiple spots on the college level. Size, athleticism, and competitiveness point to a high ceiling at the position.
