Carter on why he chose Tennessee

“What stood out to me is that they know how to use their players well on both sides of the ball,” Carter said. “They were moving up on my chart every time I visited Tennessee, it just felt like home and I felt like I would shine more there because that’s my home state. Also, my family, friends and fans from my city don’t have to go as far to come watch me play and I like that as well. But I like how coach Nez uses his guys and how he works around them during practice and during games.”

Relationship with coach Nez played a key role in his decision

“My relationship with Coach Nez has been really close, tight, and just felt right ever since he gave me my first offer. So I was very blessed by him giving me the opportunity at the next level.”

The Volunteer State athlete joins coach Heupel and the Vols’ top 15 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by four-star quarterback Jake Merklinger, four-star tight end Jonathan Echols, and others.

Carter ranks as the No. 195 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 6 athlete and the No. 2 player in the state of Tennessee.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $90K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
