St. Thomas LB Carter Carstens brings MVP-level production and true every-down impact
Carstens looks like a high-upside linebacker who already has proven game-changing production: he was voted team MVP in 2024 and posted 205 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, six sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception, and seven pass breakups that season. At 6-1, 221, he profiles as an aggressive, disruptive defender who can finish plays in the backfield and affect the pass game, not just rack up stops. That combination of volume, playmaking, and proven leadership makes him a compelling fit for teams wanting a physical, instincts-driven linebacker.
