The Analysis

Carroll is another in a line of new-age hybrid wide receiver/running backs. He is likely to fill a slot role in college, however, the future Trojan runs the ball with the mentality and attitude of a running back. He plays that Percy Harvin position in which a slot wideout is also motioned into the backfield for option sets. Trick plays and reverses will also be a strong part of his game.

Although, a smaller player, Carroll is well put together and shows more strength than a normal 175-pound frame.

As expected from a player with his size, Carroll's speed, agility, quickness and burst are all tremendous. He gets in and out of cuts and breaks with great efficiency. His feet are lightning quick and he possesses great balance. His straight line speed is excellent.

Once he gets into the open field, Carroll is a terror. He is one of - if not the - top 'yards-after-catch' guys in this class. He is the type of player that can score on any play.

Carroll has solid instincts, solid ball skills and great hands. He is the complete and perfect package for a slot wide receiver. He has also proven to be a dynamic return man, so a major impact on special teams returning kicks and punts is to be expected.

Carroll was a 2008 California state champion in the 100-meter (10.43) and the 200-meter (20.91).

2007: 576 yards rushing, 7 TDs, 36 rec, 745 yards, 7 TDs
