Tennessee football fans were hoping to get an exciting and productive player when Boo Carter signed last winter and enrolled early with the Volunteers.
Seven games into this season, Carter is delivering on both fronts.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound defensive back out of Bradley Central played 30 snaps in Tennessee’s opening 69-3 victory over UTC and hasn’t looked back, becoming a valued member of college football’s only defense that has yet to allow 20 points in any game.
“When I first came in, I had the competitiveness to compete early,” Carter said, “and during fall camp, I felt comfortable. I knew I could help the team by that point.”
