Q: What was it like playing on the scout team and really proving yourself your first couple years, then earning a scholarship last fall?
CARROLL: “When I first got here, I was a little undersized and probably wasn’t going to crack the lineup. Playing on the scout team, lifting weights and stuff really got me stronger and bigger and that was under Coach [Frank] Beamer so it was a little different. I showed what I could do and then new coaches came in and I had to redo the whole system with being a walk-on.
