Carter has a long, lean frame, he is fast, and disruptive off the edge with the ability to cause havoc in the his opponents backfield. Buck’s elite first step and ability to win with speed or length make him a major X-factor as Lake Travis takes on CE King.
A brilliant pass rusher with a massive frame, Buck has been a defensive spark plug living in the backfield this season. He has put together a dominant senior campaign so far, totaling 17 TFLs and 10 sacks through 7 games. Carter plays with a high motor and showcases the ability to explode off the snap and play with violent hands and great lower body bend. His combination of quickness and power allows the Cavs to line up all over the line of scrimmage and off the edge. Expect to see the TCU Horned Frogs commit make some trips into the backfield tonight.
Buck helped set the tone in Lake Travis’ 48–21 win over Arlington Martin as part of a defensive end tandem that produced multiple sacks and forced fumbles. He plays with a high motor and long levers that keep tackles off balance. Buck’s get-off and chase make him a problem from the first snap to the last.
Carter, a dominant defensive lineman committed to TCU. He put together an outstanding 2024 campaign, racking up 86 total tackles with 46 solo stops, 17 tackles for loss, and even found the end zone on a receiving touchdown showcasing his athleticism and versatility. Carter’s relentless motor, physicality in the trenches, and ability to disrupt plays make him a nightmare for opposing offenses. With leaders like him on both sides of the ball, the Cavaliers have the foundation to make another deep postseason run in 2025.
