Tre Carter has many tools — including ones Soddy-Daisy baseball coach Jared Hensley says cannot be taught — and they are attracting recruiters from college football and basketball as well as baseball.
“He could definitely choose what he wants to do and where he wants to do it,” Trojans football coach Justin Barnes said.
A 6-foot-3, 180-pound junior, Carter played a number of positions for Barnes. Although primarily a receiver, he was also a defensive back, the team’s third quarterback and punter and also served at times as the place-kicker.
“It might be easier to say that he doesn’t play linebacker, offensive line or defensive line,” Barnes replied.
For basketball, Carter just received an invitation to try out as a Tennessee representative for Team USA, an international travel squad. That won’t happen, though, because his summer will be filled with travel baseball.
