UGA Recruiting: The Offer From the National Champions Was Huge for Defensive Lineman
“It’s crazy,” he told DawgNation. “It is like a humbling experience considering where I’m from. How small my city is. This doesn’t happen. This doesn’t happen to people around here. Especially for someone with so little experience like myself. I’m truly blessed that these coaches can see how hard I’ve worked at the game over this past year and how big of an impact I tried to be.”
“I was crying,” Carroll-Jackson said. “I’m not going to lie. I was super excited. I was full of joy and excitement. This doesn’t happen. It is not normal. No matter how you look at it this is not a normal thing for someone like me. For someone in my area. For a team as big and as powerful as Georgia to come calling and say they want me. That really stunned me. I had no words. I couldn’t talk after that.”
