athletic Citadel DB with freshman upside, but limited public stat trail
Carpenter is a 6-foot, 175-pound defensive back for The Citadel listed as a freshman in 2025 and a sophomore in 2026, with limited publicly available stat production so far. His value is more about upside than box-score volume: roster listings and draft-style profiles point to a lean, rangy defender with cornerback tools and room to grow into the role. The big question for evaluators is development—if he adds strength and consistency, he fits as a depth piece with future starter potential rather than an instant-impact star.
