Orlando "Boo" Carter (born October 9, 2005) is an American football defensive back for the Tennessee Volunteers.

Early life and high school

Carter attended Bradley Central High School located in Cleveland, Tennessee.[1] Coming out of high school, Carter was rated as a four-star recruit, the 3rd ranked athlete, and the 111th overall player in the class of 2024, while also holding offers from schools such as Colorado, Michigan, and Tennessee.[2] [3] Ultimately, Carter committed to play college football for the Tennessee Volunteers.[4] [5]

College career

Heading into the 2024 season, Carter competed for a starting spot in the Volunteers secondary, where he earned a starting spot for Tennessee heading into week one.[6] [7] During Carter's debut for the Volunteers in week one of the 2024 season, he notched two tackles in a win over the Chattanooga Mocs.[8] In week seven, Carter was named the SEC freshman of the week after notching seven tackles with one and a half being for a loss, and a sack, as he helped Tennessee to a win over the Florida Gators.[9] In week eight of the 2024 season late in the fourth quarter, Carter caused a massive 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on receiver Kendrick Law, which set up a fourth and long which would not be converted, helping the Volunteers upset rival Alabama.[10] In Tennessee's ninth game, against Mississippi State, he served as primary punt returner and recorded his first college interception in the victory.[11]
