Josh Carter is Western Kentucky’s tackling tone-setter at linebacker
Carter brings a downhill, physical edge that can help a defense win ugly: he is known for strength, discipline, and a hard-running, finish-at-the-goal-line mentality that translated into 714 rushing yards and four touchdowns in 2023 at Eastern Kentucky, plus an All-UAC honor. Reliable reports also describe him as a player whose production and growth are tied to work ethic and consistency, not just raw talent, which is the kind of mentality coaches love in a linebacker room. If you want an inside defender who plays with power and toughness, Carter fits.
