Texas will host massive Minnesota DT Trill Carter this week

Minnesota transfer DT Trill Carter will be in Austin this week.

Texas might have found impact depth in the portal at defensive tackle. The team is hosting mammoth sized defensive lineman Trill Carter this week.

There isn’t much in the way of production to support any claim in the player making a huge impact. The Minnesota tackle compiled a total of 19 total tackles and 1.5 sacks last season. Albeit, he looks to have the build defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski can make use of inside.

Carter stands a solid 6-foot-2 and weighs in at 300 pounds. Kwiatkowski can make do with a frame that big. Like offensive line coach Kyle Flood, the defensive play caller prizes big humans of his own up front. Texas will need imposing players up the middle to protect its linebackers from getting caught up in opponents’ blocking schemes.

Whether or not Carter would be a transformative player or a rotational contributor is still to be seen. Nevertheless, Texas is wise to adopt the philosophy of always adding talent.
