Rice LS Ty Carter brings veteran accuracy and steady special-teams value
Ty Carter enters the 2026 season as Rice’s top long-snapping option, with the Owls noting he heads into fall camp as the leading candidate for the job. His calling card is consistency: Rice previously praised him as a “very accurate deep snapper” with “great velocity,” and he’s also shown utility beyond snapping, including eight game appearances and a first career tackle. Add his academic reliability and special-teams pedigree, and he looks like a low-drama, high-trust fit for a program that values precision under pressure.
