Clemson brought in two of the best linebackers in the nation for the 2022 class, landing Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Barrett Carter. Trotter Jr. has been impressive since enrolling early, and Carter will make his much-anticipated arrival over the summer.
Carter comes to Clemson as one of the highest-ranked players in the ’22 recruiting rankings, with 247Sports ranking Carter as the No. 1 outside linebacker and the No. 17 player in the nation. The 6-1, 220-pound 5-star from Suwanee (GA) North Gwinnett committed to Clemson last May, with defensive coordinator Brent Venables and safeties Mickey Conn leading the way in the recruitment for Carter.
