About Carter
Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Carter is a 6’2″ 260 lbs OG for Pardeeville who is going to be making a name for himself this fall. The small school prospect is not short of talent. As a sophomore his tape shows a lineman with easy power, good knee bend, consistent use of leverage, and powerful hands that all combined to be a dominant run blocker. Carter brings the mentality of a college guard to the field already too. He finishes blocks. If the whistle hasn’t blown then the ’26 IOL is trying to put his man in the dirt. This fall I’m excited to see more film coming out so we can get a fresh look at the rising IOL. He is on his way towards being one of the top IOL in his Class.

We move to the Class of 2026 and one of the first small school prospects in the rankings is the 6’2″ 260 lbs OL out of Pardeeville. Carter is going to start catching eyes this summer and fall from the next level. He has built a powerful frame that is well filled out with very little bad weight. There is plenty of room to continue to add bulk. The sophomore jumped off the tape with his run blocking. He has excellent flexibility in his ankles and his knees. That allows him to easily win the leverage battle. Add in next level strength and you get an underclassman IOL who was able to easily reset the line of scrimmage downfield. Carter has excellent athleticism too. He is quick out of his stance to get hands on. We also see the ability to pull and deliver big, gap clearing blocks in those scenarios. Carter is going to be a popular prospect this time next year when his class really takes the forefront in recruiting.
