About Menz Updated May 15, 2026

Karter Menz is a rising Minnesota edge with a long frame and growing upside

Karter Menz, a sophomore defensive lineman for Minnesota in the 2025 season, looks like a classic developmental edge: 6'5" with a lean, projectable build and enough athletic profile to stay intriguing in Minnesota’s front. He came into college as a relatively under-recruited prospect, but that’s exactly the kind of player P.J. Fleck has historically loved to mold. His value is less about gaudy box-score production right now and more about traits, effort, and growth potential—good fit for a team looking for a high-upside DL who can be coached into a bigger role.
