Carter spent one year with Indiana football after transferring from Western Michigan.

In his only season with the Hoosiers, Carter proved to be a disruptor on the defensive line finishing the season with 11 tackles for loss. He finished the season with 49 total tackles, two sacks, and three pass breakups.

Carter was especially effective against the run last year. According to Pro Football Focus, Carter’s 87.8 run defense grade last year was first among all edge rushers in college football.

“He’s a big strong guy, so we look at matchups every single week and where we can best utilize his skill set,” Former Indiana defensive coordinator Matt Guerrieri said this season. “Some packages he’s on the edge. Some packages he’s on the inside. We’ve had a little bit of that all year then each week we say this is our favorite attack. We bumped him in and he did a good job. He’s got skills in both places.”

The 6-foot-5 and 273-pound lineman’s ability to play multiple positions on the Indiana Football defense made him an intriguing prospect to NFL scouts.
