Former LSU edge rusher commits to UNLV

Zavier Carter is heading out west after two seasons in Baton Rouge.

Former LSU outside linebacker [autotag]Zavier Carter[/autotag] has found a new home. On Monday, Carter announced that he would be transferring to UNLV to join newly hired coach [autotag]Barry Odom[/autotag], previously Arkansas‘ defensive coordinator and the head coach at Missouri.

A former four-star prospect out of Atlanta in the 2021 class, Carter appeared in 18 games over two seasons as a rotational player. He finished his LSU career with nine total tackles (one for loss), a sack and a forced fumble.

Carter’s decision to enter the portal came as a bit of a surprise. With the Tigers losing both [autotag]BJ Ojulari[/autotag] and [autotag]Ali Gaye[/autotag] to the NFL draft, he had a path to see significant reps in 2023 if not start.
