Following a 2021 season where he totaled 15.5 sacks, setting Army’s single-season program record and earned and AP All-American Third Team selection, senior outside linebacker Andre Carter II looks set for another strong year.
Carter was named to the AP Preseason All-America Second Team on Monday. Carter was also the only player named to either the first or second team to come from a program not in the Power Five or Notre Dame.
Carter has already been named to the CBS Sports Second-Team Defense Preseason All-America team, Sporting News Preseason All-American Second Team, Phil Steele Preseason All-American Team, Phil Steele Preseason All-Independent Team, the Bronko Nagurski Watch List, the Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List, Bednarik Award Watch List, Lombardi Award Watch List and Pro Football Network Preseason All-American.
After everything Carter has accomplished thus far, expectations for him are, expectedly, high.
Something I don't think most college football fans have interfaced with yet is that Army has one of the ~10 best players in the country this year and is in play for a first-round pick for the first time since the Truman admin
