About Zayden

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m an explosive interior defensive lineman who wins with my first step and physicality. I come off the ball fast, play with good pad level, and use strong hands to control blockers and disrupt plays. Against the run, I’m aggressive but disciplined in my gap, and as a pass rusher I focus on collapsing the pocket and creating pressure from the inside. I bring high effort, intensity, and consistency

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m a competitive, high-energy player who brings intensity every snap. I take pride in being physical, setting the tone up front, and doing my job the right way. I play with an edge, but I stay disciplined and focused on my assignment. I’m confident in my ability, but I’m always looking to get better, whether that’s improving my technique, effort, or understanding of the game. I want to be someone

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

A,B Honoroll

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Through football, I’ve developed strong leadership and teamwork skills. I lead by example through effort, consistency, and how I practice and prepare. I communicate with my teammates, hold myself accountable, and do my part to keep everyone focused and motivated. Being part of a team has taught me how important trust and chemistry are, and I understand that success comes from everyone doing their

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

No

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that values hard work, discipline, and accountability, both on and off the field. I want to be in a competitive football program with a strong coaching staff that develops players physically and mentally. Academics are important to me, so I’m looking for a school that will support my education while helping me grow as a student-athlete. I also want to be part of a team cu

Zayden Carter Zayden Carter Zayden Carter 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL/DL Dudley | 2027 State NC | Class of 2027 | Dudley | Defensive Lineman
Zayden Carter Zayden Carter Zayden Carter 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL/DL Dudley | 2027 State NC is a powerful interior presence who’s poised to be a difference-maker for the Dudley defense. At 6’1″ and nearly 300 pounds, Carter brings both size and explosiveness to the defensive front.

He’s got a quick get-off and active hands, allowing him to disrupt plays before they develop. Carter is equally effective using a bull rush to collapse the pocket or working in a well-timed counter move to shake blockers. His raw power combined with technical flashes makes him one of the most intriguing interior linemen in the Class of 2027.
