Emerging West Georgia linebacker with early-impact playmaking
Carter flashed as a true freshman at West Georgia in 2025, appearing in nine games and finishing with 21 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and an interception, which points to a linebacker who can both finish plays and create disruption. He also brings a proven high-volume production background from Coffee County High School, where he posted 91 tackles, 1 sack, and 2 interceptions in 2024-25. The appeal is his versatility and early development curve: he looks like a fast-rising defender with instincts, range, and multi-phase value in the middle of a defense.[1][4][5]
