About Carlos
Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Shird is a defensive lineman who shows strength, quickness, and solid technique. He plays both defensive end and tackle, using his length and leverage to control blocks and disrupt plays. He consistently wins with hand usage, shedding linemen to make tackles near or behind the line of scrimmage. Shird’s swim move stands out on passing downs, as he uses it effectively to pressure the quarterback and force hurried throws. Shird also shows discipline in pursuit, disengaging and chasing plays from the backside. To continue developing, he can focus on expanding his pass-rush repertoire and demonstrating more explosiveness at the snap to complement his power game.

Carlos is a player I was able to recently get eyes on this summer at MSJ after transferring there this summer after playing last season at Lake Clifton HS. A real nice size prospect at 6’4″ with a slim 250lb frame that will add real good muscle as he continues to hit the weight room. Can see him ending up a strong/muscular 280lb type player. Currently I have him as a DT, but he can play both OL and DL and will be doing so for MSJ this fall.
At DT Carlos shows real active hands, can swipe away blockers hands, swim and rip and shows a high motor with that hand usage. He can get skinny and shot the gap, sliding into the backfield to get TFLs. A good overall athlete, he runs on his toes, gets good bend/leverage and using his length well.
Carlos could have a monster junior year and turn himself into a legit big time prospect as he continues to develop. Look for him to be a big rankings riser if he reaches his potential. This is a prospect colleges will want to get on their radar early and monitor during the fall, can’t wait to see more of him live during the season myself.
