6-5 | 250 | OT | Undecided
Carter has moved up to 3-star status by 247Sports. The 6-foot-5 offensive tackle will be another elite player in the Sierra Foothill League.

Latu has seven offers, including Arizona State, Cal, Nebraska, Oregon and Sacramento State. The senior is listed as an OLB at the next level, but look for him to make an impact at tight end as well for Jesuit.
