Boo Carter is a tick undersized for safety, but you wouldn't think it by his playstyle. He plays with violent intent, always looking to be around the football. Carter earned SEC All-Freshman honors with 25 tackles and three forced fumbles in eight games played. He roams the box well with a good IQ to plug gaps in the run game. When backpedaling to play deep, he flips his hips smoothly to get to where he needs to be.
It needs to be mentioned that the reason Carter is no longer with the Vols is due to being dismissed due to a multitude of behavioral issues. Yes, guys have moved around due to off-the-field concerns, turned it around, and become fine players. But time will ultimately tell if that is the case with Carter. Not totally sure he has the best frame for the NFL at safety, so he could play a tweener role should he be drafted in 2027.
