Carson Springford '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been paying football my whole life. I started in flag football as a 6 year old and went on to play tackle in an AYF League in Southern California. I was lucky enough to have excellent coaches along the way that taught me good mechanics of football. I have an excellent football IQ and I am at home on the defense side of the ball.

I have been playing high school football at a small, private school but our coaching staff recognizes that in order to get better as a team we need to play larger programs and we reserve half of our schedule each season to play bigger schools. I feel this has made me a better player, capable of facing schools twice our size.

I am a team leader who leads by example in good sportsmanship on and off the field. Our team motto is Champions for Life. I have played football with asthma since I was 7 years old and have had some struggles. I have overcome the asthma issues as I have gotten older and thankfully have played asthma free for the last 2 years.

I look forward to playing on a team in college that has strong teamwork and strong leadership. I would like to contribute to the team with my 10+ years of defensive skills. I lead the Southern Section of California in tackles last season with 109 tackles in a 10 game season. I am a play maker and would love to do that at the college level.
