Karter loves the connections and bonds he builds, meeting players and coaches who share the same passion. He thrives on traveling and competing against the best of the best. Football isn’t just a game for him — it’s a way of life, on and off the field. From holding a plush football as a baby to gripping the leather now, it’s been in his hands since day one
He has many inspirations — from his peers who share his passion, to the coaches who push him to be greater, and the trainers who drive him to reach his fullest potential. But above all, it’s his mother who inspires him most, for all the sacrifices she makes so he can play every game, attend every practice, and have everything he needs to keep getting better
⸻ One moment that stands out is when Karter’s team played for a chance to go to nationals. Everyone had counted them out - they were up against a team that had beaten them four times before. With the game on the line and just one last play, a pass was thrown for what looked like the winning touchdown. But Karter stayed locked in, leaped up, and snagged the interception that sealed the game. It was their first time beating that team, and it punched their ticket to nationals in Florida .
