grind-first Tennessee kicker with size, leg strength, and a work-man’s rep
JT Carver entered Tennessee as a highly regarded in-state specialist, once ranked among the nation’s better high school kickers, and his calling card has been leg strength, kickoff pop, and a reputation for relentless work. Tennessee listed him at 5-foot-11, 213 pounds in 2024, and multiple reports from fall camp praised his effort and “grind” mentality as he battled in a crowded kicking competition. He’s the kind of specialist who can fit a team that values upside, toughness, and reliability under pressure.
