Carr Young '15 Recruiting Profile

      Growing up on the Southwest Mississippi Community College campus allowed me to attend all sports camps and college sports team practices.  When I was six years old my church youth minister ask me what I was going to do when I grow up.  I told him I was born to play football.  I attended all S.M.C.C. football games because my dad was Basketball Coach, Dean Of Students and later served as President of the College for six years.  When I was five, I always took a football to all S.M.C.C. games and would get 4 to 10 kids to play football at both home and away games  I started playing flag football at my school in the first grade.  In our first game I ran for a touchdown the first two times I got the ball.  I played quarterback every year through the ninth grade.  During the eight and ninth grade, when I could get to S.M.C.C. football practice, Coach Charles Anthony (now at Delta State College as Defensive Coordinator)  would get me to throw passes to wide receivers.  I loved throwing those passes.  In the spring of my ninth grade we got a new head football coach and he had a rule that you had to go through spring training if you wanted to play quarterback.  I play baseball and could not participate in spring training.  I had a chance to play quarterback some this past season but mainly played wide receiver.  I will be the starting quarterback next year and Coach Mike Powell is changing our offense to more passing plays.  I am very, very dedicated to improving my passing skills and continue to study all defensive alignments.  I would love to play for a college coach who uses  a lot of passing routes in his offensive game plan.    i
