"These last 3 years have been exciting. I am most thankful to God for the talent and ability he has given me, without him I am nothing," Carter wrote on Twitter. "I can't thank Coach Smart and his staff for their commitment to helping me develop into the best version of myself on and off the field. I also want to thank my position coach Tray Scott. My teammates past/present have built bonds that will last a lifetime and what we accomplished together will love on forever. I would also like to thank the fans and the entire UGA community. You all make taking the field between the hedges special…
"With all that being said. I would like to announce that I am declaring for the NFL Draft. While I am excited for the next chapter. I WILL ALWAYS BE A DAWG!"
Carter was a five-star recruit out of Apopka High School in Florida. He was a unanimous All-American and All-SEC First-Teamer this season. In 2021, he made the All-SEC Second Team.

If Carter is the first pick, it will be the second year in a row in which a Georgia Bulldog was taken to begin the draft. The Jacksonville Jaguars took defensive end Travon Walker first overall last year.
