It hasn’t been the easiest road for Carter. He suffered a season-ending knee injury during spring practice last season. Fortunately, he recovered and made an impact on the defensive line in 2023.
Arkansas missed out on a bowl game for the 2nd time in Sam Pittman’s tenure this year after a 5-7 finish this season.
