Derek Carrier (born July 25, 1990) is an American football tight end who is currently a free agent. Carrier played college football at Beloit College.

Early years

Carrier attended Edgerton High School in Edgerton, Wisconsin where he started for three years on the baseball and basketball teams and for two years on the football team.

College career

The Wisconsin Badgers offered Carrier the opportunity to play college football as a preferred walk-on but Carrier instead chose to attend NCAA Division III Beloit College because Beloit also offered to allow him to play college basketball. After two years, Carrier left the basketball team and began running indoor track, competing in the 55 meters, long jump and triple jump. Carrier was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity and was pre-med.[1]
