Drake Carroll
About Drake
Expert Analysis
Marcus Henry | Prep Redzone Scout
Few junior linemen in Texas improved their stock faster than Carroll. He’s explosive off the ball, plays with urgency, and understands how to use his length to his advantage. Whether setting the edge or collapsing the pocket, Carroll brings consistent pressure and finishes with intent.
His junior season numbers: 50 tackles, 7 sacks, and 15 TFLs, reflect his impact, but the film shows even more: hand usage in tight quarters, balance through contact, and the ability to affect quarterbacks without always recording a sack.
Recruiting has followed quickly, with Colorado State, California, and TCU offering in January alone, a clear indicator of his upward trajectory.
Outlook: One of the fastest-rising defensive linemen in the state. Power Four-caliber traits with momentum firmly on his side.
