Not just a stockriser in this 2026 class, Carson is also a newcomer in this class out of Bottineau as an EDGE rusher that impressed me in the live eval during the 11A state championship game in Fargo. He led the Braves in tackles during that game as well and watching his senior tape tells me why he has started to get more next-level attention. He comes in as my EDGE1 which although is a new position within our pos. groups Carson lives up to hype with his progressive pass-rush moves and high burn rate when it comes to his suddeness coming off the edge. He is one that when he makes contact on the ball carrier he does so with some knock back. Two NSIC offers have come Carson’s way since that state championship game as there’s a great amount of frame you can still grow on this kid in a college strength program.
