In the 46–20 victory in the championship game, he caught eight passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns, rushed five times for 88 yards and a touchdown, caught two 2-point conversions, and intercepted a pass.[1] He was voted most valuable player of the game.[2] For the season, he was named the North Coast Section Offensive Player of the Year after catching 63 passes totaling 1,515 yards (24.0 avg.) for 19 TDs.

In his senior year, Carter set the school record for most receptions in a game (18) against Montana in September.[2] However, Carter discovered four games into the season that he had torn cartilage in his left knee attributed to his body compensating for his 2007 PCL injury. Although unable to practice most of the year, he continued to play with the injury.[5] Carter had nine catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns to help UC Davis the Great West title in a 28-20 victory against North Dakota.[4][7] For the season, Carter recorded 85 receptions—the second highest total in school history—for 889 yards and four touchdowns.[2] He was named the 2009 Great West Offensive Player of the Year.[4] Carter finished his career as the Aggies career reception leader (213).

He was signed by the Seattle Seahawks to a futures contract in January 2011 after drawing their attention during a tryout.[5][9] However, the NFL lockout cost him the opportunity to establish himself during mini-camps and organized team workouts.[5] He was waived on August 29, 2011.[10]
