Top 10...🙏🏽 I would like to thank all the Coaches who have helped me along this journey, and all the Coaches that have given me the opportunity to play at their respective University’s... (My recruitment is still 100% open) pic.twitter.com/XKTz2eYhwp

Despite not having yet visited West Virginia because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 6-foot-3, 220-pound, pass-rusher remains in steady contact with the Mountaineer staff.

“The [WVU] coaches have communicated with me every week” Carroll said. “We’ve connected well and me and Coach [Neal] Brown hit it off well.”

“I like how Coach [Neal] Brown is very relatable and honest,” Carroll continued. “The times I’ve talked to him they’ve always been pure conversations and he let me get to know his true self.”

Carroll plans to make the trek to West Virginia once allowed back on campus for visits.
