The Clemson football program welcomed its summer enrollees to campus on Thursday and one of the headliners in that group was 5-star S/LB Barrett Carter.

Carter, who stands at about 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, was ranked as the No. 3 linebacker in the nation by the 247 Sports’ composite player rankings but Dabo Swinney revealed that the Tigers view him as a potential safety because of his physicality and athleticism.

When looking at his film, you can see what Clemson– and hundreds of other programs around the country- loved about him.
