  Jacari Carter enrolled in January after transferring from Merrimack, where he earned all-conference and Freshman All-America honors at the FCS level. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Carter caught 125 passes for 1,227 yards and 13 touchdowns in 25 games at Merrimack. As a freshman in 2021, he had 89 receptions for 713 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games in 2021. His 89 receptions were four shy of Cooper Kupp's FCS season record.

Head coach Shawn Elliott has been impressed with Carter since he arrived on campus. "He has done an exceptional job," Elliott said. "He has fit in so well with our football program. He's intelligent, he's an extremely hard worker and he's a good leader. He's small in stature, but he plays big. "You always look to improve a position in recruiting, and I think we hit a home run with that young man." - Georgia State Football

  Last season Marcus Carroll was part of a three-pronged running attack at Georgia State, sharing carries with Tucker Gregg and Jamyest Williams to produce the top rushing numbers in the Sun Belt Conference. This spring, with the graduation of his compadres, Carroll is getting used to the idea of being the main man. While others will be mixed into the equation, it's Carroll who will bear the brunt of keeping the chains moving on the ground. It's a responsibility he's happy to accept. "Being the No. 1 guy is nice," he said. "I'll just do whatever I can. If I get the ball 20 times a game and it helps us win, I don't mind taking that load for the team."

He got a taste of it last season when Williams missed four games because of injuries. Carroll wound up with 127 carries for 622 yards, a 4.9-yard average, and six touchdowns. He had 100-yard games against Old Dominion and a season-high 143 yards and a school record-tying three touchdowns against Southern Mississippi. "I got out there, and I was able to make some plays and help the team out," he said. "It's been a great journey." - Marietta Daily Journal

  The 2022 football season officially ends Sunday with the playing of Super LVII. One day later, the Georgia State Panthers will be back on the field for the start of 2023 spring practice. Monday morning's workout is the first of 15 spring practices over the next four weeks. Spring practice will culminate with the annual Spring Game, scheduled for Thursday, March 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Center Parc Stadium. Admission and parking are free, and fans can register for free tickets here.

Head coach Shawn Elliott, entering his seventh season, explained the decision to move up spring practice to the earliest start date in program history. "We talked about what we needed to do to become a bigger, stronger, faster football team, and our new strength and conditioning coach, Mike Sirignano, thought it would be really beneficial to move spring practice up," Elliott said. "That will give us give us a few extra weeks on the back end to continuously train." When asked what would be the focus this spring, Elliott didn't mention schemes or personnel. "Fighting through adversity, knowing how to put away opponents, and learning to strain to finish," he immediately answered. "This is going to be a physical spring practice, it's going to be competitive spring practice, it's going to be a tough spring practice." The Panthers return six starters on offense, including quarterback Darren Grainger, and six on defense. Other top returnees include running back Marcus Carroll, receiver Robert Lewis, tackle Travis Glover, defensive ends Javon Denis and Jeffery Clark, and linebackers Blake Carroll, Jordan Veneziale and Jontrey Hunter. - Georgia State Football
