Grayslake North 6’1, 185 lb. safety Carter Barenbaum Carter Barenbaum 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB Grayslake North | 2024 State IL was recently named to our PRzIL list of the 2024 classes hardest hitters, a prestigious selection that was hard to earn, as there were a ton of potential of nominations from hard hitting 2024s all around the state of Illinois. We broke his down his expertise into contact in that previous feature here, but we’ll get more in-depth in regards to his overall skillset and strengths for this Ballhawking feature here. Barenbaum posted 71 total tackles (57 defensive, 14 on special teams), 9 PBUs, 5 INTs (tied school record, took one back to the house), and a forced fumble, and was a strong representation of a ballhawk, as he did a great job of naturally being around the football at the right times and capitalizing on offensive mistakes and miscommunications. As a MOF defender, his range was impressive, as he was able to defend the sidelines and hashes with ease, as well as get downhill and cover ground in run support as well. I also really like how he fires out of his breaks with burst, and he’s athletic enough to high point and play the ball well in the air. As mentioned in the hardest hitters article, Barenbaum also will smack the crap out of WRs and RBs, and laid a couple of the bigger hits I saw while grinding tape for the update, and especially amongst his DB peers. Right now, he’s got offers from UW-Eau Claire, UW-Platteville, Carthage College, Judson, UW-Oshkosh, and MSU-Mankato. Rangy, physical, and instinctive is a good mix for a DB. I like how he projects to the next level and am excited to check him out as a senior.
