CLEMSON – When you think about a defensive player playing the “dime” position, you typically envision a smaller defensive back, not a linebacker who stands close to 6-2 and weighs in at 225 pounds. But that’s exactly what the Tigers have in Barrett Carter.
Carter arrived on campus last summer and immediately turned heads with his freakish athleticism, and when the games started, it didn’t take the Georgia native long to make an impact. Carter played 179 snaps over 12 games (one start) as a true freshman in 2021.
There were several 'wow' moments, but there were also the learning moments that are typical for a college freshman.
