Four-Star ATH Boo Carter On Campus Ahead Of Saturday Commitment

2024 four-star athlete Boo Carter's recruitment has been a whirlwind, to put it lightly. He's been close to a public decision several times but has held off. The Tennessee Volunteers entered his commitment week as the heavy favorite, and then he began publicly flirting with the Michigan Wolverines.

There have been twists and turns at every point, which will likely continue through Saturday. The latest news came Wednesday morning when he tweeted a photo of him on Tennessee's campus. This isn't anything new for Carter, as the Tennessee native frequents Knoxville and has close bonds with the coaching staff. However, it is important to note that he gets another chance to see the environment, and it will be his last visit before committing.

The Chattanooga native has been recruited to play both sides of the football in college but would play defensive back for the Volunteers. Carter has elite athleticism at 5-11 and 175 pounds, projecting him to play STAR in college. He reminds me a lot of Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard; rangy instincts, and a lot of force at the point of contact. Tennessee needs someone who can come downhill from the secondary and play consistent run defense, as it is one of their biggest weaknesses throughout head coach Josh Heupel's tenure. Volunteer Country evaluated Carter in January and laid out the full scope of what Carter brings to whichever college he attends.

"Carter's testing numbers are eye-popping. He runs a 4.39-second forty-yard dash, a 10.7-second 100-yard dash, and a 4.35-second shuttle. Those measurables are unrivaled across the country. His short-area quickness separates him. Carter has elite hip dexterity and ankle flexion, allowing him to change directions in various manners. The Tennessee native knows how to alter his approach based on his position. This is especially apparent at running back. He routinely runs outside zone concepts that rely on his ability to get back inside. While defenders close in, Carter gets low and explodes in a different direction, creating yards of separation. You must be a refined athlete to play as many positions as Carter. Everything looks effortless for him; he glides in and out of breaks, unzips his feet in space, and gets through progressions as a running back. Carter has natural movement from the safety position. He diagnoses, attacks, breaks down while staying in his stance if necessary, then explodes again. The conversation between identifying and attacking is seamless for him."
