Carl Granderson 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

During his final year of high school, Carl Granderson<\/a><\/strong> put up tremendous numbers for Grant in the Sacramento, CA area. He totaled 172 tackles, 15.0 sacks, and 34.0 tackles for loss, all of which led his team which made it to the California Division 1 state semifinals. He added a further two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Interest from major programs was muted, however, as he received just one Power Five scholarship offer from Washington State. In the end, he took his talents to the Mountain West by committing to Wyoming.<\/p>\n

Granderson contributed right off the bat once he got to Laramie. He saw action in all 12 games as a true freshman, totaling 36 tackles, six tackles for loss, and a sack. He was poised for a breakout sophomore campaign that likely would’ve earned him all-conference recognition before suffering a torn ACL six games into the campaign. Prior to the injury, he forced six tackles for loss and four sacks while also adding a pass breakup and a forced fumble.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Granderson successfully rebounded from the adversity he experienced the season prior. He stayed healthy all year and led the Mountain West with 16 tackles for loss while his 9.5 sacks led the Cowboys and were good enough for second-best in the conference. It resulted in him making the all-MWC first team. In the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl that year, he recovered a fumble and took it for a 58-yard scoop and score. His stats took a bit of a drop as a senior as he managed just three sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss. But he did add a career-high three pass breakups.<\/p>\n
