Jarquez Carter

Interior plug that has brought the energy while dominating a lower level of competition in the Sunshine State. Under 6-foot-2 and equipped with shorter arms, but makes up for the lack of length with his active hands and short-area movement skills. Quick to get into blockers and flashes some impressive knockback power for someone his size. Keeps the legs pumping and is the type of defender that’s always looking to take out the trash as he’s frequently making stops in pursuit. Hasn’t faced a ton of future FBS players to date, but production speaks for itself as he has totaled 81 tackles for loss and 26 sacks in 33 career varsity games. Projects best as a 3-technique in a 4-3 front that can provide valuable minutes in a Power Four rotation after a few developmental years. Young for grade and will turn 18 years old right before freshman season.
