Congrats to Carson and UCLA. No doubt he deserves the AA recognition. He was All Marmonte league at Oaks Christian. Went under the radar in recruiting and walked on at UCLA. Boggles my mind, most D-1 FB programs have at least 5 to 10 man recruiting staff + coaches. How do players like Carson get lost in the R process? These people are not doing their jobs.
Lazy recruiters just looking at the top R services reviews & rankings list. They must dig deep and search hard. If a player does not go to FB camps in the summer it hurts their recruiting opportunities. Plus, there are so many good players to pick from California HS pool.
Carson will be playing on Sundays and have a solid NFL career. Hope he makes a ton of money... Cheers.
PS, I always root for Calif boys, no matter what college they play for.
Thanks, Butkus! For some reason, I can't reply directly to the poster like the rest of you are able to.
Dena, I think he plays in the middle.

He should have won the Butkus. He had way more tackles in ‘24 than the Georgia linebacker.
Walked on at UCLA , and the RS Junior LB was named 1st Team AA today. Led the BIG 10 in tackles.
