A former QB turned WR with upside, but still waiting for game reps
Carridine’s appeal is the conversion-story curveball: a 6-1, 184-pound former quarterback who moved to receiver in spring practice and earned Academic All-Big Ten plus multiple scout-team shoutouts in 2025. The catch? He has not seen game action yet, so the evaluation is about traits and projection more than box-score production. For a team, that means a smart, coachable developmental piece with versatility, competitiveness, and likely strong football IQ — but not a plug-and-play stat producer yet.
