University of Detroit Jesuit 2020 CB/WR Carson Hinton holds 8 offers thus far and his versatility is what is really impressing the college coaches.

Hinton explained that some of his offers are for CB and some are for WR. The 6' 175 lbs Hinton is long, rangy, and fast!

"Coaches say I'm a great player on both sides of the ball," said Hinton. "Coaches like that I’m a very flexible player, I can play all around. They also like that I have great size, awareness, and that I’m a ball hawk."

For Hinton he's started on Varsity since his freshman season when he was moved up at CB and he has started every game since.

Having a wide array of talent can be overwhelming especially as Hinton begins to narrow his college coaches and see where he fits. But Hinton is just looking to improve daily and let the rest take care of itself.

"I work on my technique as much as I can for both positions," said Hinton. "I watch a lot of videos, almost everyday, on the different types of drills I can do for both WR and CB. When I find good drills to do, I save them and practice them on my free time. Every Sunday I train with Max Ex and alternate which position of training I do. Some days I go as a WR, some days I go as a CB."
