The 2022 season didn’t end like Jeremy Carter wanted. His season ended during the fifth game of the season against Central York. This year, he’s recovering well and hopes to make an impact on the line. As a tackle he has great ability to seal off the defender and create a hole for the back. Head Coach Tony Shermeyer says “Jeremy has been one of our best offensive linemen for the past two years. He has great footwork and drive off the ball. His junior season was cut short because of injury and he has been working relentlessly to get ready for his senior year. We are looking for Jeremy to play a big role on both our offensive and defensive lines this year.
