Noah Carter, a redshirt freshman playing the wolf linebacker position for Alabama, is making strides as a valuable contributor to the Crimson Tide”s defense. Since stepping up to provide depth during the game against Missouri, Carter has experienced an increase in meaningful playing time.
Although he has not yet registered what many might classify as significant plays, Carter has demonstrated his athleticism and capability to tackle effectively in space throughout Alabama”s recent matchups. His teammate, defensive lineman LT Overton, has observed a heightened level of commitment from Carter lately. “He”s just more keying in on details in that playbook more and just real laser focus on what his job and assignment is and getting to that ball,” Overton remarked.
Other members of the team have also praised Carter”s performance. Fellow wolf linebacker Qua Russaw discussed Carter”s explosive nature prior to the season. “He”s got a fast get-off,” Russaw noted. “When he gets going, he can go. Him, he brings energy to the room too; you see him all the time just yelling and saying “Let”s go,” and stuff like that.”
As the season unfolds, Alabama“s defense is showing marked improvement, reminiscent of last season”s growth. Having Carter as a reliable edge rusher is undoubtedly a positive development for the Crimson Tide.
