Ohio State Commit Reid Carrico Continues Mentoring Teammate Trevor Carter, Whose Promising Career is Just Getting Started
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio – Up until his junior season in 2019, Reid Carrico had never played inside linebacker full time.
The future Ohio State commit had played all over the field in his middle school days, often as a safety, before becoming a linebacker in high school. A self-described cross between John Lynch and Mike Alstott, Carrico had long imagined himself playing safety whenever he got to college and eventually the NFL. But, really, when he played safety, he played the position like a linebacker.
“When people ran post routes or slants, man, I’d light ‘em up,” Carrico told Eleven Warriors last September.
But this story isn’t about Carrico. It’s about Trevor Carter.
