Army senior linebacker Andre Carter participated in the NFL Combine last week, Feb. 28-March 6, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Carter appeared in 26 games over his four-year West Point career (2019-22). He registered 99 tackles (62 solo), and his 20 career sacks rank second in school history, only behind Josh McNary (28.0, 2007-10). In 2021, Carter racked up 15.5 sacks, the most in Army Football single-season history. His mark also ranked second most in the country behind Alabama's Will Anderson, 17.5. Following the 2021 season Carter was the first Army player selected as an Associated Press All-American in 31 years. Carter officially measured in at 6' 6 1/2'' and weighed in at 256 pounds with a wingspan of 33 3/8'' and a hand size of 9 3/8''. Carter's best testing drill came when running a 4.36 20-yard shuttle, which ranked third best amongst the defensive end/edge position group. Carter also tested in several other drills leaping 30" in the vertical jump, 9' 1" in the broad jump and logging 11 reps in the 225-pound bench press. Carter did not run the 40-yard dash and will run and will participate in other drills at Army's Pro Day on March 16 at West Point. NFL.com highlighted Carter's strengths saying:
What NFL scouts are saying:"You won't even recognize him in three years with how much his body will change when he's on an NFL team. He's going to be a lot thicker and stronger than what you see on tape right now." -- Scouting director for AFC team.
