Joshua Carter brings veteran size and ball-hawking experience to Samford’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Samford cornerback Joshua Carter is a seasoned 6-1, 203-pound senior from Birmingham who has long been described as a key piece of the Bulldogs’ defensive backfield, giving him the kind of length, physicality, and experience that coaches love on the outside[1][3]. His profile suggests a reliable, multi-year starter type with enough versatility to play corner or help elsewhere in the secondary, and his history of producing tackles and interceptions at Samford points to a defender who plays with confidence and range rather than just surviving in coverage[4].
