Watch as IU football offensive tackle Carter Smith met with the media on Thursday morning inside Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.
The 6-foot-5 and 308-pound Smith started all 12 games at left tackle for the Hoosiers in 2023.
He was a key part of Indiana’s offensive line improvement as a whole, with a Pro Football Focus grade of 67.7 — the best mark of any IU tackle this past year. He’s fared particularly well considering his age, as well. Smith’s PFF grade ranked 15th among all tackles in the 2026 draft class — only one Big Ten player finished above him in that respect.
Smith entered the transfer portal following the season after the coaching change, but announced his return in December.
The Powell, Ohio native has three years of eligibility remaining.
