After scoring 15 touchdowns that year, a school record, he was named to the first-team All-Coast and second-team All-American. During Carroll's senior year, he had six touchdowns against the College of Puget Sound (now University of Puget Sound), scoring 36 of the team's 40 points, a UW record for points in a game by a single player. He played for all but six minutes of the 1928 season's six conference games. Stanford's coach, Pop Warner, said he had never seen "a greater football player." Carroll would go on to earn a place in the College Football Hall of Fame, the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame, and was the first inductee to the University of Washington Husky Football Hall of Fame.

After his football career he went into law, going back to the UW for law school. He was a judge advocate in the military during World War II and King County Prosecuting Attorney (1949–1971).
