Expert Analysis
Pat Weider | Prep Redzone Scout
Playing in a wing-t offense for Shippensburg, Mark Carothers is an excellent running back. He played a fullback and a tailback. At both positions, he showed an explosive running ability. His ability to hit the hole and make defenders miss is impressive. He also has elite speed, and once he gets into the open field, he is off to the races. He also shows a good ability to make defenders miss. He is also a physical running back who is hard to tackle. Carothers has a chance to be even better next season as well.

Mark Carothers is one smooth running back who is definitely a stock riser. His ability to hit the hole and make defenders miss is special. He has a good burst that makes him difficult to tackle. He is also a physical runner who is hard to tackle. His legs are always churning and moving forward. Carothers had a good week one game, where he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown. I am expecting even better results from him this season.

His ability to read the play and then explode through the hole is impressive. He has great burst and quickness to make defenders miss. When he gets into a tight space with defenders, he has a knack for making them miss. Then, when he gets into the open field, he has the speed to rush past helpless defenders. Carothers is an exciting running back who should be even better next season.

Mark Carothers is an excellent athlete who can score anytime he touches the ball; he is that electric of an athlete. When he gets into the open field, he just explodes past defenders and races to the end zone. He also shows good ability as a runner by running hard. He is hard to bring down and has a physical running style. Crothers also has excellent skills as a pass catcher and makes defenders miss after he catches the ball. Crothers has the potential to be a game-breaker next year as he improves as a player.
