is another highly regarded offensive lineman who continued to impress as a sophomore. Carrico lines up at right tackle where he is very impressive as a run blocker. He plays with a high motor and a ton of physicality. John is especially effective when asked to down block as he is able to drive his man inside with ease to create an outside running lane for the ball carrier. In pass protection, Carrico has shown the ability to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge while maintaining a strong base. John has begun reeling in Power 4 offers over the past year and I expect them to continue to pile up for him this offseason.

picked up right where he left off in 2025. He lined up at right tackle where he was very impressive as a run blocker. Carrico does a great job of running his feet through contact to drive his man down the field with ease. He finishes his blocks with a ton of physicality, resulting in frequent pancake blocks. In pass protection, he has shown the footwork to mirror opposing pass rushers with ease while also maintaining a strong base. John currently holds multiple Power 4/Division I offers and I expect more to come his way going into his junior year.

has picked up right where he left off this season. Carrico lines up at right tackle where he is a dominant run blocker. He does a great job of running his feet through contact to drive his man down the field with ease and finishes his blocks with a ton of physicality, resulting in frequent pancake blocks. John is also reliable in pass protection, showing the footwork to mirror opposing pass rushers while maintaining a strong base, not allowing for much penetration into the pocket. Carrico currently holds offers from Louisville, Kentucky, Murray State, Eastern Kentucky, Miami (OH), and Hillsdale, and I expect more to come his way over the next few seasons.

made an immediate impact as a freshman last season. He has shown the versatility to play both right tackle and inside at guard. Carrico is very explosive out of his stance, showing the ability to drive straight through his man to create movement off the line of scrimmage. He finishes his blocks through the whistle, resulting in frequent pancake blocks several yards down the field. In pass protection, Carrico does a great job of maintaining a strong base while absorbing contact, not allowing for much penetration into the pocket. Carrico currently holds offers from Kentucky, Louisville, Eastern Kentucky, Miami (OH), and Hillsdale, and I expect that list to continue to grow as he continues to develop over the next three seasons.
