Another one of the state's best defensive lineman is off the board.

2026 Southmoore defensive lineman Na'kwaine Carter announced his commitment to Kansas on Sunday.

Carter is ranked No. 21 on The Oklahoman's initial Super 30 rankings of the state's top college football recruits in the upcoming senior class.

Carter is a three-star recruit and the nation's No. 75-ranked defensive lineman in his class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

The 6-foot-1, 270-pound standout chose Kansas over Houston, Iowa State , Kansas State , North Texas, Tulsa, UCF, Utah and Washington.
