Finally, Ernest Carter Ernest Carter 6'1" | 155 lbs | DB/WR Collingswood | 2027 State NJ is one of the more intriguing defensive backs heading into the offseason. At 6’1”, 180 pounds, he’s a big, explosive athlete with clear upside.

To start, his athleticism immediately jumps off the screen. Carter is a standout basketball player, and that defensive mindset translates well to football. He moves smoothly, shows good hip flexibility, and plays with a different level of burst compared to most DBs.

In coverage, he projects well as either an outside corner or a deep safety. He has solid ball skills, closes quickly, and shows the ability to win one-on-one matchups. While his defensive back tape is still limited, the traits are undeniable.

Because of that, Carter fits the “diamond in the rough” label perfectly. As he gains more reps and refinement at defensive back, this upcoming season will be critical. If he puts it together, he has a real chance to turn heads, elevate his profile, and earn Division I attention quickly.
