After starting his career as a Vol over the weekend, in-state, four-star athlete Boo Carter has now officially signed his letter of intent to play for Tennessee. The University’s social media accounts acknowledged Carter’s signing on social media moments ago.

Carter committed to Tennessee in June, and his recruitment has continued to receive plenty of interest since.

The fan base there is crazy,” Carter told Volquest prior to revealing his decision publicly. “They treat me like family. Every time I go up there, it is close to home. It is an easy trip for my family and friends that are down here in Chattanooga, and that is important to me. I knew if I went there, I would come with a great relationship with the players there already and the other players coming in too. We are going to try and win a natty.”

The chance to play for Josh Heupel played a key role in Carter choosing Tennessee over Michigan and Colorado.

“Coach Heupel was a very important factor for me,” Carter said. “He has been very cool with me in this process. He was an immediate factor for me. I know Coach Heup is busy every day, but I get on the phone with him when I am on the phone with the position coaches. He will text you, too. We are close. He has things going the right way up there.”

Carter’s spoke publicly last week on his excitement level to get started at Tennessee.

“It is a great opportunity,” he said. “We already have the relationship, and I am just blessed to be here. We are in-state and not that far from home, so I am ready to put on for the state.”

Carter capped his prep career by winning the Tennessee Titans Division I, Class 6A Mr. Football award, following a dominant senior season at Bradley Central. He recorded 27 touchdowns and 1,795 all-purpose yards for the Bears.
