Carpenter, a multisport athlete, played football and basketball at Buford High School, one of the top high schools in Georgia. He only played varsity football for two seasons, primarily in backup roles.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Not only a multisport athlete, Carpenter pulled double duty for his football team, playing both cornerback and wide receiver for the Wolves. In his two seasons, Carpenter totaled 161 receiving yards and one touchdown on 11 catches, and eight total tackles on the defensive side.<\/p>\n<p>Carpenter originally committed to Los Angeles Valley College, a junior college, out of high school before announcing his next destination would be in Boulder.<\/p>\n<p>On tape, Carpenter shows flashes of incredible ball skills and fierce tenacity, especially in the run game. He brings great size outside, standing at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds with speed to make defenders miss downfield or catch ball carriers from behind.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear what position Carpenter will specialize in as a Buffalo, but he offers intriguing upside at both positions.
