UTSA’s Chris Carpenter is a dual-threat weapon with big-play juice on offense and in the return game
In the 2024 season, Carpenter gave UTSA value far beyond a typical WR: he caught 39 passes for 479 yards and a touchdown, averaged 12.3 yards per catch, and also shared the FBS lead in kickoff-return touchdowns with two while helping UTSA rank No. 1 nationally in kickoff-return average.[1][2] His differentiator is explosive, game-breaking speed—he logged a 97-yard kickoff return TD and a 93-yard bowl return score—making him a fit for teams that want a versatile playmaker who can tilt field position and score without needing a high-volume target share.[1]
