Kamonte Carter, a four-star defensive tackle recruit in Penn State’s 2015 class, will continue his collegiate career at the University of Pittsburgh. Carter was given a redshirt as a true freshman and was expected to add depth to Penn State’s defensive line during 2016. However, he was kicked off the team by James Franklin in April of 2016 for a violation of team rules.
He never played in a game as a member of the Nittany Lions.
After leaving Penn State, Carter landed at East Mississippi Community College for the 2016 season.
He appeared in 12 games for the Lions this past season and recorded 36 tackles with two sacks and an interception.
