a proven, high-volume safety who brings tackling presence to NMSU
Eric Carrie’s clearest calling card is production: in the 2006 season, he played all 12 games for New Mexico State, started nine, and finished with 80 tackles, which ranked third on the team. That profile points to a safety who was durable, active around the ball, and trusted in the lineup. For a coach, that kind of workload suggests reliability, physicality, and football instincts rather than just flash. If you want a defender who can handle responsibility and consistently show up on Saturdays, Carrie fits that mold.
