Carano also played for the Pittsburgh Maulers of the United States Football League. He played college football at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Carano was born in San Pedro, California, and attended Earl Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada. He later became the starter at quarterback for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).
In 1974, Carano helped UNLV achieve a number two ranking in Division II, after the school completed their one and only undefeated regular season. They would lose 49-11 to the University of Delaware in the Grantland Rice Bowl, one win from playing for the national championship.

In the 1977 NFL Draft the Dallas Cowboys didn't have a second round draft choice, after trading three of them to the Seattle Seahawks as part of the package to acquire Tony Dorsett. On May 3, the Cowboys traded wide receiver Duke Fergerson to the Seahawks in exchange for the 26th position in the second round, used to select Carano.
