In his final season as a Lion, Carpenter earned a pair of wins against Gulf South Conference members Shorter and Christian Brothers. He recorded a career-high seven strikeouts on two occasions in 2016 against Stillman and Spring Hill College.
He played in the Northwoods Collegiate League during the summer of 2015. He was a member of the Duluth Huskies.
