Former Tennessee Defensive Back Boo Carter Commits to CU Football Team
Boo Carter was spotted at the CU Events Center on Saturday night, showing his support for the Colorado men’s basketball team. Little did the spectators know, Carter had an announcement of his own to make that would shake up the Buffs community.
The talented defensive back revealed his commitment to the CU football team and head coach Deion Sanders, marking a new chapter in his collegiate career. With two seasons of eligibility left, Carter is set to bring his skills to the field and make a significant impact on the team.
247Sports ranks Carter as the sixth-best defensive back in the transfer portal, showcasing his potential to shine in the Pac-12 conference. Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 195 pounds, Carter brings a strong physical presence to the safety position.
Hailing from Tennessee, Carter was a highly sought-after recruit in 2024, receiving offers from 46 schools, including CU. Despite initially choosing Tennessee, his journey has now led him to Colorado, where he aims to make a name for himself.
Despite facing challenges during his time at Tennessee, including being dismissed from the team in 2025, Carter’s talent is undeniable. As a freshman, he made a mark in the SEC by earning a spot on the All-Freshman team and showcasing his versatility on the field.
In his most recent season, Carter displayed his skills with 25 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and impressive punt return averages. His addition to the Buffs roster adds depth and experience to the safety position, complementing the team’s existing talent.
Carter’s commitment is a significant move for CU, as they continue to bolster their roster with transfer additions this offseason. With 27 commits in the past week alone, the Buffs are gearing up for an exciting season ahead.
