08/13/22 - ILB Blake Carroll, rSr/2024, Georgia State

Blake Carroll has become one of the more valuable members of the Georgia State defense. A senior outside linebacker from Lawrenceville, Carroll was an All-Sun Belt selection last year and was named to the preseason all-conference team earlier this month. Not bad for guy whose career almost didn't get off the ground. When he arrived at Georgia State as a freshman from Mountain View High School, Carroll and coach Shawn Elliott didn't really see eye-to-eye about a lot of things. It's the sort of clash that easily could have led to internal strife or a move to the transfer portal.

"I just had to realize I'm part of a team, and I'm here for the team. That's all I had to adjust to." "Blake came in, and he was hard-headed," Elliott said. "He didn't like academics. He didn't like structure. He didn't like discipline. I guess he was used to getting rubbed on the back and told how great he was, and I was a different guy, so he and I butted heads early in his career." Carroll admitted as much. But he also was smart enough to recognize the need to reassess the situation and make the appropriate changes if he wanted to stick around and contribute. "I will say that coming in, everybody was the guy in high school," Carroll said. "I just had to humble myself. I wouldn't say I thought I was bigger than the team, but I did think I was going to play a bigger role than I did at the time. I just had to realize I'm part of a team, and I'm here for the team. That's all I had to adjust to." - Atlanta Journal Constitution
