Emerging South Carolina TE with red-zone impact
Carson Askins has quietly become a useful piece for South Carolina, with ESPN crediting him for 7 catches, 74 yards, and 2 touchdowns in his 2025 stat line[1]. What makes him interesting is the scoring value: he’s shown enough reliability and timing to matter near the goal line, which is often where tight ends separate themselves. For a team evaluating fit, Askins looks like a compact, production-oriented TE who already contributes in meaningful situations rather than just showing up as a depth option[1][3].
