Simply put, Jalen Carter is a very large human. The 6’5’’ 285 pound rising junior understands that he does not even need to get any bigger, rather just improve his overall strength.
“I'm huge already. I'm ok with my size. I'd like to be stronger.”
Carter, who is coming off a solid sophomore campaign, is looking to turn it loose in 2018.
“Sophomore year was great. I could have done better but this year I'm bringing the dog out giving 100% in the class and in the field.”
While Carter is a two way athlete in high school, he understands where he needs to play to succeed at the next level and beyond.
“I know I'll be playing both ways but coach is getting me ready for college so more defense.”
Carter is putting a lot more on his shoulders this season, both on and off the field. His goals this season are pretty simple.
“To be a student athlete, play the best I can, and win a state championship.”
One important question when talking to any recruit is who they have the best relationship with at a given school.
“I have the best relationship with (safeties coach Ephraim) Banda, but I took a liking to the DE coach when I was there.”
While Carter was not able to participate during Paradise Camp due to injury, he did still sum up his visit down to Coral Gables.
“I didn't participate. I broke my fibula in spring game. I was released by doc that week to gradually get back on the field. I got there around 7 p.m. (on Friday). I went to pool party, met a lot of coaches, ate...”
For Carter, Saturday was a bigger recruiting day than Friday, since he couldn’t participate in the camp.
“It's was cool. We took a tour, met with coaches, had lunch, played the game, and just chilled out.”
Right now Miami is not recruiting Carter very hard, but does this mean they are out of the game?
“No man. If they recruiting get stronger, it's a possibility, it's close to home.”
Right now, Georgia is recruiting Carter the hardest. Should Carter have a great season on the field this year, Miami will likely come in and make a push.
