2025 Schedule

Season Outlook
The 2025 season marks a fresh chapter for Carroll Football. Since January, our focus has been simple: restore discipline, raise expectations, and build a program our players and community can be proud of. Every player here has committed to that vision — showing up, working hard, and growing as athletes and young men. Offense: Our offense will be built on execution, balance, and physicality. With playmakers like TyTy Mattison and Jayden Walters, we can attack defenses in multiple ways. The quarterback competition between 2026’s Chris Sponburgh and 2028 transfer Haleem Johnson has been highly competitive — both have shown leadership and skill. We will mix tempo and ball control, playing to our strengths each week. Defense: Defensively, we’ll focus on fundamentals, discipline, and effort. John Thomson and Cole Tancredi are the leaders of our defense, setting the tone alongside key contributors like Ray Caswell, Caesar Richardson, and Sean Williams. With , Lil Mattison, Chase Richardson, Jayden Walters, and a strong front anchored by Shane Allison and Hassan Baddie, we plan to swarm the football, win at the line of scrimmage, and create opportunities through hustle and sound play. Special Teams: Special teams will be a point of pride — with attention to detail, sound execution, and an emphasis on field position. With one of the top long snappers in the Class of 2028 in Christian Sullivan, we’ll strive for consistency and reliability in every kick and coverage situation.
