Pass rusher Abdul Carter will not participate in Penn State’s pro day on Friday, his agent confirmed Thursday.
Carter, likely the first defensive player selected in next month’s NFL Draft, still is recovering from an injury.
“He is still finishing up rehab on the shoulder injury he had from the Boise State game,” agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN. “He may still do a workout for teams sometime in mid-April.”
In addition to the shoulder injury sustained in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals on Dec. 31, tests at the NFL Scouting Combine last month revealed a stress reaction in his right foot. He opted against surgery for the foot injury.
A consensus All-America selection and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in 2024, Carter had 68 tackles, including 23.5 for loss to lead the FBS, plus 12 sacks and two forced fumbles in 16 games.
Carter, a former linebacker who moved this season to defensive end, had 172 career tackles — 41 for loss — along with 23 sacks and five forced fumbles in 42 games for Penn State the past three seasons.
Carter has visited with the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, who hold the top two picks, respectively, in the April 24-26 draft. He met with the New York Giants, owners of the No. 3 pick, at the Combine.
