Carter (6’3/250) has been a force since he stepped on campus in Happy Valley, earning Freshman All-American recognition with 10.5 TFLs and 6.5 sacks. He played linebacker during his first two campaigns, earning first Team All-Big Ten accolades, before moving to the edge last year. Carter continued to excel at the new position and was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year while accruing 12 sacks and a FBS-leading 23.5 tackles for loss to go with a 92.4 PFF pass rush grade that ranked number one nationally. He posted an elite 22.9 percent win rate with a 19.4 percent pressure rate while ranking second nationally in pressures with 66. Carter didn’t test at the Combine, but after 16 games versus high-level competition, there’s no question about his talent, grit, and determination. The Philadelphia, PA native has a breakneck get off that puts opposing tackles at an immediate disadvantage, allowing him to dictate the engagement and slip blocks. An impactful punch and educated hands free Carter up to flash prototype agility and closing speed. Though not a full-sized edge setter, Carter’s incredible twitch and flexibility will help him become an instant difference-making DE1 at the NFL level.
