About Carson
Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Riser stands out for the athleticism allowing him to excel at multiple sports. He ranked third in scoring on the Clear Lake basketball team this winter following a productive season on the gridiron. Riser ran track last spring, too, further showing he competes in activities that complement each other. For a Lion football team that was ranked No. 1 most of last season before falling to eventual state champion Nevada, the junior caught 14 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 21.3 yards on three kick returns and 10.1 while bringing back 21 punts. Riser shows off his skill set during his 11th-grade highlight video from the fall. A reliable target on the outside, he can fire off a route to get by defenders deep or stop underneath and make them miss in space. Riser’s solid frame allows him to block in the running game. It’s projectable, too, which indicates there could be more to come. A natural in the return game, that innate ability should make him even more attractive to programs on the next level.
