Elite Atlanta-area LB Barrett Carter set to make ‘big announcement’

Four-star linebacker Barrett Carter out of Suwanee’s North Gwinnett High School has kept relatively quiet regarding his preferences in potential college destinations, but he plans on delineating some of those preferences within the week.

Kirby Smart’s defensive game plan has long been based upon recruiting athletic linebackers who dominate in physical front-line play while displaying the athleticism necessary to drop back into pass coverage.

He could very well be Smart’s next Reggie Ragland. His next Roquan Smith.

In addition to receiving scholarship offers from LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, and literally every other school affiliated with the Southeastern Conference, Carter is a top target for perennial contenders Ohio State, Oklahoma, Clemson, and Oregon.

Carter will soon be giving some of his many suitors some bad news.

The dynamic defender is currently predicted to enroll at Georgia and, following the recent departure of two 2021 Bulldog pledges, has the opportunity to become a leader in the class alongside Brock Vandagriff.
