Georgia Tech Beats Out Mississippi State And Gets Commitment From Three Star EDGE Chris Carbin

The Yellow Jackets were a part of his top five schools via his social media page X back on May 26th and continued to make the push to land the Hillgrove star. Carbin is a story of perseverance, hard work and dedication. He flew under the radar for some time before finally being noticed by colleges. He blew up in late winter and early spring. 

Carbin saw his recruiting skyrocket during the late winter and into the early spring. The month of January was big for him, picking up offers from Mississippi State, Cincinnati, Virginia, USF and Florida Atlantic. February saw Memphis, Tulane, Troy, UNC Charlotte, Wake Forest, and James Madison all offer.

Here is a scouting report on Carbin and what he brings to the Yellow Jackets. 

“When you watch his tape, he lines up on both sides of the field as a standup EDGE/outside linebacker. His first step immediately jumps out at you as he moves past offensive linemen with ease. His chase-down ability is also something that catches your eye. When he can’t get there on the initial pressure he is relentless until he gets the quarterback on the ground. In the run game, he does a good job of containing the edge and not letting the running back get outside. Another thing he does well is his ability to read and react. Carbin can detect plays before they are about to happen and can stop a play from getting started. I mean he is just milliseconds away from adding multiple interceptions returned for touchdowns and scoop and scores to his already impressive stat line." 

Also here is more on what he accomplished during his junior season with Hillgrove, a team that took major strides forward. 

This past season for Hillgrove he finished with 49 tackles, nine tackles for loss, six sacks, two pass deflections, and an interception. One of his best games of the season came against Mountain View when he finished with eight tackles and a sack. Carbin already has a great frame at 6’4 and 200 pounds as just a junior and moves very well for his size. He’s shown that game-wrecking ability he can potentially have at the next level.
