Cornell’s original walk-on run-stuffer with a scrappy, coach-friendly motor
Brian Carroll’s profile is built on work ethic and toughness: Cornell’s 2010 football material described him as a former walk-on who earned a starting job, called him a “true run stopper,” and praised his effort for climbing the depth chart into the defensive tackle rotation. In the 2009 season, he recorded 17 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, and a sack, which fits a low-flash, high-discipline interior defender who helps control the line of scrimmage. If your team wants a blue-collar DT who does the dirty work and sets a physical tone, Carroll fits the bill.
