Expert Analysis

Chris Smith

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

A strong armed lefty with good size and pocket mobility, Carlson is one of the more under the radar signal callers we have from our senior class and he still sits on the open market, ready for all suitors. Carlson gained tons of experience last year as a junior and now heads into his senior year as the clear cut starter and leader of the Saints offense. This coming Fall season will be huge for this Memphis area quarterback as Carlson currently sits without offers but has the talent to reach the next level, even the FCS ranks. What I like the most about this lefty passer is the zip that comes from the ball when he releases it and the accuracy that follows. Carlson has a quick release along with good enough arm strength to get the job done. He will continue to get bigger and stronger as he grows and matures but the Saints senior is already well built, looking the part of a future college guy. Besides his arm talent, Carlson is also a good athlete that handles the pocket well, showing mobility and the feel for escaping the rush. If this 6’2 lefty can take a step up in his game this Fall and push his Saints team back into the top of the D2-Class AAA ranks, Carlson could watch his stock go up and become a much wanted quarterback.Junior Film #SaintsProud

If you are looking for a possible breakout candidate from the QB position this year, Carlson could be your guy. A well built young man with a strong left arm, Carlson shows on the film the talent and upside to play on the D1 level, which is why he ranks within the Top 10 at his position for the #TN2024 class. Carlson is an accurate passer with good pocket mobility that keeps his eyes down field, always looking for the open receiver. Offers have yet to come his way but I truly feel Carlson is a hidden gem that should see an influx with his recruitment after a strong summer season of camp work.
