Israel Carter brings dual-threat upside and efficient arm talent to Norfolk State
Carter is an intriguing fit for Norfolk State because he combines legitimate dual-threat ability with efficient, splash-play passing: in 2024 at South Florida, he threw for 195 yards and 4 TDs in limited action, then in 2025 at Norfolk State he completed 19 of 33 passes for 127 yards while adding 40 rushing yards. His biggest differentiators are poise in small samples, a track record of protecting the football, and enough mobility to stress defenses outside the pocket. He profiles as a developmental QB who can provide immediate change-of-pace value and upside if the passing volume grows.
