Dalton Carter Dalton Carter 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR East Jessamine | 2023 State KY had an amazing senior season as he recorded 76 receptions for 1,252 receiving yards & 9 receiving touchdowns in 11 games played. Dalton’s main talented attribute is his tenacious running ability, especially when gaining yards after the catch. Since Dalton also was a running back option on the West Jessamine offense, his running mechanics transitioned into his receiver play which enabled him to find gaps in the defense after a reception. Most of Dalton’s “big-yardage” plays came from short passes where Dalton can use his vision and IQ to find the weak spot in the defense and exploit them. But what helps Dalton continue making big plays is his speed & quick acceleration as he can get to full sprint only a second after he catches the football, only for his speed to take him the rest of the way into the endzone. Lastly, Dalton is great at improvising his positioning when it is impossible to make a play off his initial route. When his QB is in trouble, Carter always knows where to go to find a spot that is easiest for his QB to throw to him to keep the play alive. As of now, Dalton Carter Dalton Carter 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR East Jessamine | 2023 State KY has received a few collegiate offers, and I expect him to decide on his football future soon.
