Joseph Carroll '22 Recruiting Profile

I grew up as the oldest of 2 in a small family in Huntington Beach California. I was given the chance to play tons of sports growing up, but ever sense I started playing football in 1st grade, I have been attached to the sport. My father was a 5’11 160lbs QB in Chicago who worked hard to earn a Scholarship with his buddy and Current head coach of the New Orlean’s Saints Sean Payton. Hearing about my dad's efforts from Sean and my Uncles about my dad's hard work really inspired me to use the size my father never had and end up working harder to earn a scholarship to play College Football. My goal is to go to a college that wants me to play football for them while earning a degree depending on the path I choose for myself when the time comes. I  am the kind of player that is willing to do anything to get on the field whether it’s lining up as a Tight End or Full back or out as a receiver. I strive to be on the field as much as I can, I try to make all special teams. I will work hard for any opportunity given to me. I will run over any obstacle in the way of my goal whether that’s competing for a starting position or, running over a 240lbs linebacker. What I think separates me from the average football player is my quick instinctive decision-making on the field during a play. At the end of the day, there are three things I can only control. How hard I work, my toughness, and my knowledge of the playbook. This is why I think I have what it take to play college football
