This former Clemson standout has stepped in and made a major immediate impact in his first NFL campaign.

Former Tiger linebacker Barrett Carter is having a highly impressive rookie season with the Cincinnati Bengals after being selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft (No. 119 overall pick).

Carter, a two-time All-American with the Tigers, is coming off a monster game last weekend.

Carter tallied 16 total tackles (eight solo) during Cincinnati’s 26-20 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.

According to the Bengals’ official website, it marks the second most tackles by a Bengals rookie since 1994, and his 16 tackles are also tied for the fourth most by any Bengal since 1994.
