Carter Fortier is a young gunslinger out of California who is quickly making his name known on the West Coast. As the younger brother of 4.5-star standout Sean Fortier Jr., Carter comes from a high-caliber football pedigree—and he’s already proving he’s cut from the same cloth.

While his brother is known for calculated precision, Carter brings a more aggressive, risk-taking style to the field. The impressive part? The gamble usually pays off. He has a natural knack for threading the ball into tight windows, and when he gives his receivers a chance, he puts it up with confidence and accuracy. For his age, he already displays a “big play” mindset and is unafraid to seize momentum.

When the pocket breaks down or the coverage locks up, Carter shows he’s more than just a thrower. He’ll tuck it and go, picking up first downs with deceptive shiftiness and a willingness to run behind his pads. He’s not afraid of contact and will make a defender pay if they square up wrong.

The biggest question around him right now is the level of competition he consistently faces. But even with that caveat, his decision-making and timing already compare favorably to some of the better quarterbacks in his class.

Carter is a young prospect with major upside, and his growth curve is trending straight upward. I can’t wait to see this young man in person at the 2026 RNR Super Showcase—expect him to turn heads.
