Carter will most likely slot in at one of the guard positions for Auburn. The Mater Dei High School alum was the third-best interior offensive lineman in this year’s recruiting class. He was also the No. 11 prospect in the talent-loaded state of California.
The California native joins early signee [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] as 2024 recruits coming off State Championship victories. Coleman of course won the Alabama Class 7A State Championship in early December.
Carter was able to win his own state title a few days later, as Mater Dei took down Serra High School 35-0 in the CIF Open Division Championship.
Unlike Coleman, Carter had been committed to Auburn since early September after a great visit this summer.
The large offensive lineman fell in love with the Loviest Village on the Plains, committing just a short month after his visit and turning down the likes of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, and USC.
Carter’s recruitment comes at a great time as Auburn is set to lose [autotag]Gunner Britton[/autotag], [autotag]Avery Jones[/autotag], and [autotag]Kam Stutts[/autotag] to graduation next season.
