AUBURN, Ala. – For senior defensive lineman Trill Carter, coming to Auburn was a dream come true. Knowing former players from his hometown who went on to be stars at Auburn, it was always the school he wanted to attend, and he never gave up on that dream.
“Before I started getting recruited in high school, this was my dream school,” he said. “I had always wanted to play here because some people from my hometown played here, like Montravius Adams and Big Kat Bryant. I just always wanted to follow in those guys’ footsteps, but I never had the opportunity.”
After his four-year stint at Minnesota, Carter transferred to Texas for the 2023 season and continued to gain experience with age and being around veteran players. Now a veteran himself, he’s confident as he takes aim at his goals for the upcoming season with Auburn.
As he approaches his final season of college football, Carter is more than ready after learning from older players throughout his career.
“It is finally here,” he said. “As a young guy, you don’t take advantage of those years. I remember when I was a freshman and sophomore and there were fifth- and sixth-year guys on my team. I thought I could never be in their situations. I would stop playing. Now the tables have turned. Now I am in their situation.”
