Carimi comes from a pro-style, run-first offense. Heould play left tackle in NFL, but many scouts believe he will be a right tackle or guard.
Carimi redshirted his first season at Wisconsin and watched Joe Thomas win the 2006 Outland Trophy and get drafted No. 3 overall by the Cleveland Browns. The next season the redshirt freshman took over for Thomas at left tackle and four years later - after starting 49 games - Carimi won the 2011 Outland Trophy.
