Ball-Hawking Safety with Proven Playmaking, but Recent Injury and Transfer Disruption Cloud the Floor
Carter’s best version is a disruptive, instinctive **safety/nickel** who has shown real playmaking upside: in 2022 at Syracuse, he led the team with three interceptions and added a 90-yard fumble return touchdown, and across his Syracuse career he posted 138 tackles and five picks. He was productive when healthy, but his Ohio State stint was limited by injury and role change, and NC State’s 2024 roster move leaves his current status uncertain. If your team values range, physicality, and turnover creation, he’s worth a look—just with durability and availability questions attached.
