Trent Carter is a young, disruptive Louisville linebacker flashing real pass-rush juice
In the 2025 season, freshman LB Trent Carter has been a small-sample playmaker for Louisville, posting 2 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 sack through four games, with his first career tackle coming as a sack for a 5-yard loss in the opener.[1][2] At 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, he brings a strong frame, notable strength, and defensive upside, and his early production suggests he can attack gaps and create negative plays rather than just clean up tackles.[2][6] He looks like a fit for teams valuing athletic upside, physicality, and developmental linebackers with edge-like disruption potential.[6][13]
