Carson Young: Evangel Christian LB Breaks Barriers with Power 4 Offer
Evangel Christian's Carson Young recorded 12 tackles for loss in 2024, a program record for a single season. The 5A Eagles' standout linebacker is making waves in Louisiana high school football, becoming the first player from his program to earn a Power 4 offer. The Class of 2025 prospect has been impressive in summer camps, showcasing his speed and agility on the field. Young's versatility and ability to read the offense have caught the attention of college scouts. He has been clocked at 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash, a notable time for a linebacker. As the Eagles prepare for the 2026 season, Young's development will be closely watched. College scouts are looking for him to continue his improvement in the weight room and on the field, particularly in his ability to set the edge against the run and cover tight ends in the passing game. His growth and production will be crucial in leading Evangel Christian to a successful season.
