“Texas has always been in the mix a whole lot,” Carlton said. “They’ve got a coach down there who came from Ohio State (LaAllan Clark), and I’ve been knowing him since he came down because he was recruiting me. So that’s a pretty good relationship we have down there, and Coach PK (Pete Kwiatkowski) and Coach Sark (Steve Sarkisian) stand out a whole lot.

"It’s like a real family down there — a great way to get to the NFL, really, with their development.”

Carlton is rated as a DCTX four-star, checking in as the No. 13 overall prospect in the DCTX Rising Hot 100. 

Carlton, who was a Navy All-American and named to the DCTX/Whataburger Super Team, has the ability to play all over the defensive front and may remind UT fans of former standout Alfred Collins.
