Carson Schwieger @CarsonSchwieger


6-9/222


Schwieger is a specialized perimeter shooter and spot-up threat. His calling card is elite three-point shooting on high volume, he ranked among the nation’s top volume 3PT makers while hitting at a 40.9% clip (34th nationally). Most of his shots are catch-and-shoot threes (both open and contested); he has taken virtually no mid-range jumpers all season. He is effective as a stretch 4 in pick-and-pop actions (7/20 on the season) and forces defenses to close out hard, creating driving lanes for teammates.


Shooting Mechanics:

Quick, repeatable release; comfortable on the move or stationary; good on both contested and uncontested attempts.


Finishing/Inside Play:

Efficient but low-volume around the rim (56–57% on 2PT attempts, mostly at the rim or in limited post-ups). Not a primary creator or driver, low usage, minimal self-creation, and few assists/turnovers indicate a low-maintenance offensive role.


Rebounding:

Solid but not dominant (3.1 RPG in 24.5 MPG). Uses his frame and length well on the glass, especially on the defensive end, but is not an elite crash-and-grab guy. Positional rebounding is fine for a stretch 4.

Intangibles/Motor/IQ: High feel for the game, low turnover rate, smart off-ball cutter, and team-first player. Physical and competitive; no major red flags in effort or attitude from available reports.

WHAT IF The Transfer Portal Never Existed! Defense Edition

By Patrick Harkness • September 19, 2026
 Same rules as the offense: only original Tulane high-school recruits, including guys who later left. No portal arrivals (Ed Smith IV, Reshad Sterling, Derrick Shepard, Chris Rodgers, Jack Tchienchou, Anthony Rogers, Macho Stevenson, Dalton Hughes, Justin Agu, Kajuan Banks, etc.). Tulane’s current defense is a 4-2-5. Defensive line DE Geordan Guidry/Josh Lewis/Gerrod Henderson DT Kameron Hamilton/Maxie Baudoin DT Maxie Baudoin IV/Jordyn Crites Hamilton (Zachary HS) is the big keep, multi-year starter, 12 career sacks, back for a fifth year. Guidry (Ruston HS, 2024 class) is a homegrown edge still on the roster. Lewis is a young homegrown end. The 2025 CFP front was mostly portal/graduates (Harvey Dyson, Santana Hopper, Tre’Von McAlpine). Without the portal you don’t get those Power-4-bound imports or the 2026 replacements (Smith, Sterling, Shepard). Bandit (hybrid DE/OLB) Matthew Fobbs-White/Jah’rie Garner/Warren Roberts Jr Garner (St. Augustine, New Orleans) is already the 2026 starter and a true homegrown product. Fobbs-White (Neville, Monroe) signed with Tulane, became a 2024 starter at bandit, then left for Baylor. In this world he never leaves, so you have a proven local edge duo instead of leaning on portal rushers. Linebackers MLB Makai Williams/Jesus Machado WLB Cory Platt Jr/Dickson Agu/JC Joseph Agu (Dutchtown, Geismar) is a homegrown starter right now. Williams (Cibolo Steele, TX, 2023 class) is a long-time Tulane recruit and the next man up. Chris Rodgers, the current WLB, came from Troy with Sumrall, so he doesn’t count here. The room loses portal depth (Dalton Hughes) but keeps two original Wave LBs who already play. Secondary CB E’zaiah Shine/Jahiem Johnson CB Reyshaun Pleasant/Armani Cargo Spear Javion White/Micheal Igbinoghene SS Kevin Adams III/Josh Simms FS Kentrell Webb/Joshua Moore Shine (Mainland, FL, 2024 class) is already a 2026 starter. Nicholas is a West Jefferson / Harvey product. Adams (Destrehan) is a homegrown safety and current starter. Moore (Clear Falls, TX) was a 2023 signee and would start at free safety instead of Troy transfer Jack Tchienchou. Javion White (playmaking sophomore safety/nickel who left for Houston) and Jahiem Johnson (starting CB, 4 INTs in 2025, left for Arkansas) were developed at Tulane after signing there. If they stay, the back seven is actually one of the stronger parts of this hypothetical. Jayden Lewis, a 4-star 2025 high-school signee who later entered the portal, adds another homegrown corner. Bottom line The back seven is playable Agu, Adams, Shine, Garner, Williams, Moore, plus leavers like Fobbs-White, White, and Johnson. The front is the problem. Without portal D-linemen, you’re asking Hamilton and a bunch of younger homegrown ends/tackles to replace an entire CFP rotation that walked to Power 4 schools.
