Carter Selected to AFCA Good Works Team
9/19/2022 9:00:00 AM | Football
DURHAM – Duke redshirt junior defensive tackle DeWayne Carter has been named to the 2022 Allstate American Football Coach Association (AFCA) Good Works Team®.
Carter is one of just 22 student-athletes and one honorary coach nationwide selected to this prestigious team. The final roster was chosen from 114 nominees. These players stood out for their leadership in local communities and overall commitment to giving back.
So far in 2022, Carter has recorded seven tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble in three starts. The Pickerington, Ohio, native has appeared in 27 games during his Duke tenure, tallying 55 career tackles along the defensive line. He has added 13 career tackles for loss and seven sacks.
"The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team is arguably college football's highest honor because it recognizes a player's integrity and service off the field rather than their performance on it," said Executive Vice President and General Manager, Allstate Sales and Distribution, Troy Hawkes. "The sports world is often defined by what happens between the lines. While they are also accomplished as players, these 22 student-athletes make a monumental difference in their communities. Allstate is so proud to honor them as beacons of positive change around the country."
The class of 2022 might be founding nonprofits, donating Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) earnings to those in need, building houses for areas hit by natural disasters, mentoring kids or collecting food for the hungry. Whatever the cause, this is a group of college football stars eager to help their communities.
Carter is set to graduate from Duke in May 2023, with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a minor in education. A 2021 All-ACC selection and Academic All-ACC and CoSIDA Academic All-Region recipient, Carter currently holds a 3.48 cumulative grade point average. After his playing days are over, Carter plans to pursue a career in education.
Away from the classroom, Carter has been giving back to his local communities for years. He severed as a member of the DI Football Student-Athlete Connection Group, which is responsible for giving valuable feedback to an NCAA representative about various rules and regulations for all of Division I college football. Carter has also spent time with Duke's First Year ACTION Mentor program, mentoring freshman student-athletes and helping them adjust to the college lifestyle as well as the demands of being a division I student-athlete. In addition, Carter volunteers as a little league baseball coach for First Calvary Baptist Church.
Since arriving at Duke, Carter has spent time with Durham's Habitat for Humanity chapter, working on building homes for deserving families in the area. He has also made multiple visits to the local elementary schools, aiding third and fourth graders in meeting reading initiative goals throughout the year. Carter has been a consistent tutor for KIPP Durham College Preparatory School and Durham Public School's Ignite to help students go beyond extracurricular community service by participating in structured activities of reflection and analysis.
In addition to his outstanding dedication to youth students around the Durham area, Carter has served on Duke's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, organizing various ways to connect Duke's athletic teams by creating a cohesive and supportive environment between the entire sports community. He also has been responsible for the social media approach for Duke's United Black Athletes organization.
Just this past spring, Carter was voted by his teammates and coaches as one of three team captains for the second consecutive year.
Carter is the 13th Duke player to earn the prestigious honor and ninth in the last 10 years, joining Rakavius Chambers (2020), Koby Quansah (2019), Johnathan Lloyd (2018), Gabe Brandner (2017), DeVon Edwards (2016), Kelby Brown (2015), Laken Tomlinson (2014), Dave Harding (2013), Sean Renfree (2012), Bryan Morgan (2010), Re'quan Boyette (2008) and Zaid Abdul-Aleem (1994).
The final 22-member team and honorary coach were chosen by a selection panel that includes former Allstate AFCA Good Works Team members and journalists. In addition to Hawkes and Tim Tebow, the selection panel members are: Abdul-Aleem (Duke, 1994 team); Brian Brenberg (St. Thomas, 2001); Wes Counts (Middle Tennessee State, 1999); Mike Proman (Amherst, 2002); Matt Stinchcomb (Georgia, 1997 and 1998); media members Kirk Herbstreit (ESPN), Blair Kerkhoff (Kansas City Star) and Paul Myerberg (USA Today); 2022 AFCA President and University of Wyoming Head Coach Craig Bohl; and 2001 AFCA President and current Athletic Director at Virginia Union University Joe Taylor.
At ESPN.com/Allstate, fans can learn more about the players' accomplishments and vote for the 2022 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team captain once a day now through Nov. 22.
"So often, stories like these go overlooked in collegiate athletics. Our sport is defined by character and a team-first mentality, and the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team personifies all that is good about football," AFCA Executive Director Todd Berry said. "We encourage fans from all over to learn more about all that these players are doing for their communities."
