Versatile Barrett Carter out to write his own Clemson story

CLEMSON – Barrett Carter is embracing his versatility and will play in multiple defensive spots for the Tigers this fall. But don’t compare him to former Clemson linebackers. Not yet. He’s wanting to write his own story.

Carter is a sophomore linebacker out of Suwanee (GA) North Gwinnett who enters 2022 having recorded 26 tackles (one for loss), a pass breakup and a fumble recovery he returned three yards for a touchdown in 179 snaps over 12 games (one start) as a true freshman in 2021.

His natural position is linebacker, but the coaches have plans to use him at safety and maybe even nickel to take advantage of his freakish athleticism.
