Carufel has more than a dozen offers
St. Paul (Minn.) Cretin-Derham offensive lineman Matt Carufel is expected to be the top prospect in the state of Minnesota. The 6-foot-5 and 280 pounder played both guard and tackle during his junior season after playing almost exclusively tackle the prior year.
Carufel, who bench presses 320 pounds, had 74 "pancake" blocks in leading his team to a 9-4 record this past season.
