Carroll made three appearances in his first year on campus, recording one tackle in spot duty while retaining his redshirt.

The 6-5, 244-pounder's departure will go down as a form of "good attrition," wherein a player doesn't see a path to playing time at his current school, and it's best for both prospect and program that he finds a place he can contribute, and frees up the scholarship slot at the institution he leaves.
