The event welcomed athletes age 10-18 from across the country. With teams representing Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, there was plenty of talent on hand. As the director, I wasn’t able to sit and watch much of the action, but when I did, I couldn’t help but notice the playmaking by Brownsburg rising senior Kalen Carroll.
Carroll played defensive back for the CE Stars Gold 18u team that also featured some of the Hoosier state’s top prospects. Carroll’s teammates included Indianapolis Pike high 2023 defensive back Tony Leadford Jr, Indianapolis North Central 2022 wideout Keyshaun Pipkin and Indianapolis Ben Davis’ athlete Dillon Moore Dillon Moore 6'2" | 205 lbs | ATH Ben Davis | 2022 State IN . It was Carroll who grabbed my attention throughout the weekend. It was the footspeed, change of direction, and the ability to come out of his breaks faster than the receivers. He’s a lengthy corner at 6’1 and it appears he’s added a little weight to his 170-pound frame. Carroll ran hip-to-hip with every receiver and also would bait the quarterbacks into throwing his direction. The end result often ended in a pass break up or an interception. Carroll helped lead the CE Stars Gold team to the 18u division crown, completing the tournament with an unblemished record. Carroll was rewarded for efforts by his coaches, claiming the tournament 18u division MVP. It’s still relatively early in his recruitment. Indiana, Cincinnati, Boston College, and a few MAC programs have extended offers. Look for this number to grow!
