Carson Rakes Carson Rakes 6'2" | 160 lbs | D | Left Hand Mount St. Joseph | 2026 MD is one of the hungriest guys on MSJ’s roster, and you will feel it in his play this spring. The athleticism jumps out right away. He can run with quick dodgers, close space off-ball, and push tempo the other way in transition. In 1v1 defense, his feet are his separator — he stays on hands, mirrors well against straight-line speed, and doesn’t get rattled when a guy uses a change of direction. As a lefty pole, he also gives matchups a different look and forces opponents to adjust their approach.

He’s steady in the clearing game, too. He handles the ball cleanly, makes smart reads, and has the burst to run past attackmen and turn a routine clear into transition. When he does get involved on the offensive side, he plays within himself — calm under pressure, moves it to the right spots, and doesn’t force it. In a league loaded with talented attackmen, MSJ is going to need Rakes to be consistent and dependable, and he looks ready for that responsibility.
