BOR meeting sparks speculation
He was recently named to the first team unit of Phil Steele’s annual preseason All-Big Ten teams. Carter is already considered one of the top defensive ends in the league ahead of his transition to the position. He is also projected by ESPN’s Matt Miller as a potential breakout candidate for the 2025 NFL Draft. Because of it, Carter could be set for his third and possibly final season as a Nittany Lion.
Working under the direction of Penn State defensive line coach Deion Barnes, though, the process remains straightforward for Carter as camp quickly approaches.
“I think he’s doing well right now. It’s just, you know, that day-by-day basis. Just day by day, all right, I gotta improve on my technique, alright? I gotta improve on this,” said Barnes. “And I think training camp will tell a lot as far as once we start getting equipment on, start banging heads and everything.
“I think he’s doing a good job of trying to learn and soak up all the information that he can. And then trying to apply that on the football field. He’s not leaving any question unanswered.”
