UW football legend Carroll dies
July 1, 2003
Charles "Chuck" Carroll, former UW running back and King County prosecutor, died last Monday at Swedish Hospital. He was 96 years old.
Carroll won All-American honors in 1928 when he scored 17 touchdowns, the highest total in Husky history until Corey Dillon scored 23 in 1996. During that season he scored a school-record 36 points with six touchdowns against Puget Sound.
He is one of only three football players to have his number, 2, retired. He followed his collegiate success with a productive professional career, getting inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1964.
Graduating from UW Law in 1932, Carroll served as a prosecutor for King County from 1948 to 1970. His 22-year career ended with a corruption scandal, according to the Associated Press.
