hometown RB with proven punch, but WKU stats remain thin
Carothers brings a compact, downhill style and real résumé juice: at Navy, he rushed for 1,092 yards and 16 touchdowns across his last two seasons, and WKU listed him at 5-foot-9, 200 pounds when he returned home to Bowling Green. The appeal is his toughness, local familiarity, and short-yardage reliability—he’s the kind of back who can give a team attitude and edge. The catch: his WKU production has been limited, so the fit is more about upside, role value, and physicality than star-level volume.
