Quarterback
4th Round
East Carolina
"This big and rangy quarterback had an exceptional career at East Carolina, leading the club to a 9-2 record this past season as well as the Southern Conference title in 1972, giving the club back-to-back Conference championships.
Pro scouts were impressed by his overall poise, ball handling and leadership qualities. Mostly a rollout type quarterback who threw on the run, he nonetheless has a strong arm. College coach Sonny Randle, former star, feels that Summerell can develop into a fine pro quarterback and cites Carl's 'strong arm, quick release and ability to throw long.' His 1973 stats showed 82 completions in 154 attempts for 1,222 yards, a 53.2 accuracy, 11 touchdown throws and seven interceptions. He also rushed 80 times for 351 yards and seven touchdowns. As a junior, Carl set an all-time East Carolina total offense mark of 1,700 yards with 425 rushing and 1,275 passing.
Born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Carl starred in both football and baseball at Kellam High School there. A physical education major, he also lettered in baseball at East Carolina. He still resides in his hometown and is an avid golfer."
