A native of Elkhart, Indiana, Carroll won a Fargo junior freestyle national title in the summer of 2021. Carroll, while highly decorated has yet to win a high school state title missing out on his freshman year due to injury and his sophomore postseason due to transfer rules. Carroll still has managed to put together a top tier resume in spite of all of this. Carroll had won numerous titles at the youth level in tournaments such as the 2015 Indiana youth folkstyle state tournament, the South Bend freestyle and greco open, and the 2016 HYWAY state championships.
