May 24, 2002
WASHINGTON, DC - Brian Carroll (Crystal Lake, IL/Crystal Lake South) has signed a national letter-of-intent to attend The George Washington University, head golf coach Scott Allen has announced.
Carroll is a three-sport standout at Crystal Lake South High School. In addition to golf, he played shooting guard on the basketball team and was a second baseman and pitcher for the baseball team. Carroll is one of the country's top top 100 prospects for 2002, according to Golfweek Sagarin Ratings.
He has played an extensive national tournament schedule. Carroll qualified for the 2000 U.S. Junior and advanced to match play. He played in two American Junior Golf Association events in 2000 and three more in 2001, picking up two top-20 finishes. Carroll placed 12th at the AJGA ClubCorp Junior Players Championship with rounds of 77-74-73 and he was 20th at the AJGA Kroger Junior Invitational with 82-70-73. Carroll finished third at the Future Collegians World Tour's Irish Shootout in 2001 with a 148 total. He also placed 18th at the FCWT's Purdue Classic in 2000 and was invited to the prestigious Doral-Publix Classix in Florida last winter.
He was All-state in 2000, finishing sixth. He finished 37th in the Western Junior in 2001, shooting 75-75-75-76. Carroll holds every all-time scoring record at Crystal Lake South including low 18-hole score (68), low 9-hole score (31), low-9 hole scoring average (35.9), and low 18-hole scoring average (71.17).
"Brian is a terrific student," GW coach Scott Allen said. "His extensive tournament experience as well as his experience in other sports should have him well-prepared to play at the Division I level. I fully expect Brian to compete immediately for a for starting spot."
Two more recruits are expected to sign with GW in the coming weeks. The Colonials open their 2002-03 campaign Sept. 7-8 at the U.S. Naval Academy Invitational.
