MORE ENTRANCE INTERVIEWS: OL Andre' Oben | LB Roman Pitre

The 6-3, 247-pound native of Bryan, Texas, near the Texas A&M campus, is one of three four-star signees in the class, joining quarterback Brady Allen and fellow d-end Joe Strickland.
Caraway tallied 78 tackles with 26 TFLs and five sacks in 2021 playing linebacker for Bryan High. He earned national acclaim at the All-American Bowl in January in San Antonio.
