Freshman LB Barrett Carter turning heads early in fall camp
It didn’t take long for Barrett Carter to turn the heads of his new coaches and teammates.
During Clemson’s first practice of fall camp, the freshman linebacker followed the quarterback’s eyes during a team period and broke on a ball near the sideline. The only problem was it looked like the pass might be too tall for the 6-foot-1, 220-pounder and simply sail out of bounds.
But Carter showed off some of the natural athleticism that made him one of the gems of the Tigers’ 2021 recruiting class when he extended his body, reached back and snagged the ball with one hand. To make the highlight-reel interception official, Carter got a foot down inbounds before his momentum took him out.
