Prep: Helped coach Michael Magno’s Charlotte United FC ‘89 Gold club team capture the 2004 State Cup… member of the North Carolina ‘90 ODP squad for three seasons (2005-07) and was among the region pool in 2007… National Honor Society chapter president… captained his club squad for seven seasons.
Personal: Born Feb. 23, 1990… son of John and Sarah Carroll… majoring in physics.
