Carter is one of seven 5th year potential starters on defense. If Manny follows his own formula of starting upperclassmen, the other 4 starters would be entering their 4th year, meaning this could be Miami's most experienced starting unit ever.
Everyone is excited about the newbs but we should not discount the possibility of heavy relaince on vets early despite fans demanding to see James Williams, Leonard Taylor and Avantae.
As we saw with Baker, Rumph, Stroud this offseason, Manny is Mr. Nice Guy and will hook these kids up for choosing to return, which might not be a bad strategy if we're to permanently change the culture of kids leaving school prematurely.
Don't be surprised to see this depth chart week 1!
