He is the second player from Florida so far for the Dawgs joining four-star quarterback Carson Beck who is from Jacksonville, Florida.
Carter is from Apopka, Florida and attends Apopka High school.
If that sounds familiar, that’s because 2019 linebacker Rian Davis went to school there as well.
Carter’s latest visit to Athens was during G-Day. According to 247Sports, Georgia was on his mind since the first of his four trips to the Classic City.
“I knew it would be Georgia from the first visit,” Carter said to 247Sports writer Kipp Adams. “Each visit got better and better. I have bonded with players, and I feel at home in Athens.”
One of the Dawgs most significant needs in the 2020 class is defensive linemen and Carter is one big target. He’s 6-4 and 301 pounds and looks like a grown man.
Carter chose the Bulldogs over Alabama and Clemson after releasing a top-3 on Sunday.
Georgia isn’t done yet when it comes to defensive linemen. The Bulldogs are also interested in Jordan Burch, Eric Taylor, Zykeivous Walker, and others to fill those D-line needs.
With the latest pledge, Georgia is the No. 5 overall team and No. 3 SEC team in the rankings. The Bulldogs have ten members and have a 94.4 rating per commit.
