Anton Carter brings a linebacker frame and local-recruit upside to Richmond
In the 2026 season, Richmond freshman linebacker Anton Carter arrives from Nottoway with a sturdy 6-foot-1, 243-pound build and a high-school résumé that screams production: 200 tackles, 50 tackles for loss, 45 sacks, and 12 interceptions. He projects as a disruptive, downhill defender with obvious pass-rush juice for the linebacker spot, plus the instincts to make plays all over the field. The big care-about here: he looks like a physical, versatile fit who could grow into a tone-setting defender if his transition to college speed goes smoothly.
