Michael Carroll is already a stabilizing force on Alabama’s offensive line
Carroll entered Alabama as a consensus five-star and the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in the 2025 class, and in the 2025 season he flashed immediately, appearing in 14 games with six starts and allowing just 11 pressures and two sacks on 272 pass-protection snaps. He was named to the SEC All-Freshman team and earned a reputation for rare size, power, and early trust from the staff; by spring 2026, Alabama had also experimented with him at right guard, suggesting he’s versatile enough to fit multiple line spots. If you want a high-upside, plug-in blocker with blue-chip pedigree and proven early production, Carroll is absolutely worth caring about.
