WOW! What an accomplishment for Carter. I don't care where you are from, winning a Heavyweight State Championship is quite an honor. I may be off a little on this, but I think that Ex Buckeye Luke Fickell, now the Head Coach at Wisconsin, possibly won four Heavyweight Championships while at Columbus DeSales High School. It sounds as if Carter is hearing from quite a few schools as far as playing at the next level. There's also a chance that Wrestling could be in the future as well. Good interview.
