Colorado Lands Tennessee Transfer Boo Carter

The Colorado Buffaloes are bolstering their secondary with the acquisition of Boo Carter, a highly-touted safety transferring from Tennessee. Carter, a four-star prospect, is expected to fill a crucial playmaking role for a defense that lost key players. During his tenure with the Volunteers, Carter amassed 63 tackles, two sacks, and three forced fumbles across two seasons, demonstrating his impact.

Carter's athleticism, despite his 5-foot-11, 200-pound frame, allows him to cover significant ground and remain involved in every play. His capabilities extend beyond defense, as he also served as a punt returner for Tennessee, noted for his long-return potential. He possesses the versatility to potentially contribute on both sides of the ball for the Buffaloes.

With two years of eligibility remaining, Carter arrives at Colorado under new leadership from Deion Sanders and Robert Livingston. His transfer follows a period where he missed the latter half of Tennessee's 2025 season, initially attributed to injury, though later reports suggested disciplinary reasons. Carter is set to lead a significantly revamped defensive unit.
