Carter is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 55 overall prospect in the 2024 class, regardless of position, and received 28 known offers during his recruitment. He cited his both relationship with Auburn coaches and the environment on The Plains as key factors in determining his decision. 

“I have a great relationship with the coaches at Auburn and felt really felt comfortable on my visits out there,” Carter told 247Sports of his commitment. “I loved the culture and the family environment out there and it just felt like home for me. … The visit really exceeded my expectations. Everyone I met was very genuine and I really connected well with the players and the coaches. I got to see how the players and coaches interacted with each other and I loved how well everyone got along. I’ve always liked the SEC and I felt really comfortable being in the South. I learned a lot about the tradition at Auburn and I love the all around fit.”
