Alexander Rhys Carter (born October 19, 1994) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Detroit Lions in the third round of the 2015 NFL draft. He played college football for the Stanford Cardinal.

Early life

Carter attended Briar Woods High School in Ashburn, Virginia, where he recorded over 1,000 all-purpose yards and 50 tackles with five interceptions (one returned for touchdown) as a senior. He helped lead his team to a 12–1 record and a win in the state championship game.[1] He was named Virginia's 2011 Gatorade Player of the Year,[2] and was selected to play in the 2012 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.[3]

Carter also lettered in track & field at Briar Woods, competing during his junior year running the 100 meters, 4x100 and the long jump (6.62m or 21-7). He competed at the state meets and his fastest time in the 100-meter dash was 10.9 seconds.[4]

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Carter was ranked as the third-best safety prospect of his class, and drew comparisons to Tyvon Branch.[5] On April 5, 2011, he accepted a scholarship offer and announced his commitment to Stanford.[6]

College career

As a true freshman in 2012, Carter played in all 14 games with starts in the last 8 games at cornerback.[7] He recorded 46 tackles, including three tackles for loss, and led his team with three forced fumbles. In 2013, he started all 13 games, recording 59 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, one interception, team-high seven pass breakups. In 2014, he started all 13 games, recording 41 tackles with one interception and a team leading nine pass breakups.

On December 31, 2014, he announced he would forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the 2015 NFL draft.[8][9]
