The Ottawa Redblacks re-signed defensive lineman Bryce Carter to a two-year contract extension through the 2026 season on Wednesday. Carter was set to hit the free agent market in February.
“Bryce is one of our league’s first defensive linemen, evidenced by his production over the last three seasons,” said Redblacks Head Coach Bob Dyce. “His ability to get to the quarterback, combined with his physicality in the run game are critical elements of our defense.”
Bryce Carter is six foot one and weighs 252 pounds. The 25-year-old from Steelton, Pennsylvania, re-signed with the Ottawa Redblacks on January 23, 2024. In 2024, Carter made 21 tackles and four sacks in 11 games.
The Ottawa Redblacks signed Carter as a free agent on May 21, 2022. In 2022, Carter made ten tackles and two sacks in seven games. In 2023, Carter made 31 tackles, 12 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 18 games on his way to being named a CFL East All-Star.
Collegiately, Carter played three seasons at Towson University (2017-19) with 145 tackles (80 solos, 65 assists), 22 tackles for loss, 15 sacks, and four forced fumbles in 35 games for the Tigers. Then, he transferred to James Madison in 2021 with 53 tackles (27 solos, 26 assists), 21 tackles for loss, nine sacks, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery in 14 games for the Dukes. He was named First Team All-CAA as a defensive lineman in 2021.
