Top 10 Minnesota HS football players in Class of 2024

5. Mason Carrier, LB, Detroit Lakes Senior

Carrier hails from the same high school as Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen and is on track to become the next elite football talent out of Detroit Lakes. After an impressive sophomore season in 2021 when he racked up 53 tackles, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound senior picked up his first offer from the Golden Gophers and less than a month later, he committed to Minnesota. A throwback, hard-nosed linebacker, Carrier will feel right at home in the Big Ten.
