Carpenter enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1946 and won the starting right tackle position on Fritz Crisler's 1946 Michigan Wolverines football team that finished the season with a record of 6-2-1, ranked No. 6 in the final AP poll.[4] At the end of the 1946 season, Carpenter was selected as an All-Big Nine Conference[5] player by the United Press. Carpenter, Alex Agase and Earl Banks received the most votes among the lineman.[6] The United Press noted at the time: "Carpenter was stamped by numerous scouts as the ideal tackle."[6]
