WR Duron Carter (Official Thread)

[utgrad73]

Ding we have a winner. Duron will tear up the field this year. If we could stop him from making those strange 2 cycle engine noises though...

6'4 1/2, man, he is going to create some mismatches, and I think he can see the field a lot earlier than people think. He has great size, and his hands are phenominal. His size alone can have him playing early, I don't think we've had size like that since David Boston....unless you look at the Fiesta Bowl when TP played receiver!!

Michael Jenkins.

 

[Taosman]

He's definately bigger now. Anyone got a recent 40 time on him?

Michael Jenkins.

Ooops!

Per ant and another poster on scout: link
"When we signed Duron Carter he was 6'3. He showed up at Ohio State last week and was measured at 6'4 1/2. 198 pounds"
Thanks, ant.

Really liking the red zone opportunities with him

Without shoes correct? He still may not be done growing since this was a recent growth spurt.

Alley Oop!
:highfive:

Coleman on Duron...

On true freshman receiver Duron Carter:

"Duron Carter has looked good. You can tell he's Cris Carter's son. His hands are very, very good. But it's, I guess you would say, the things that go into making a wide receiver great. He knows if a DB is going to play me this way, I need to do this. He's good at adjusting his routes and getting to the right place at the right time. You can tell he's well-coached."

Florida connection

Ohio State already has one receiver from Florida on its roster, incoming freshman Duron Carter of Fort Lauderdale, and coach Jim Tressel is hearing favorable reviews about him.

Tressel is not allowed to oversee conditioning or drills with teammates during the summer, but he has heard reports from Gonzalez and outgoing cornerback Malcolm Jenkins.

"They told me one that they were very impressed with was Duron Carter and his route-running ability," Tressel said.

He and the coaches will start making their assessments Aug. 9, when preseason camp opens.

Carter is the son of former Ohio State and NFL receiver Cris Carter.

GTFO!!! seriously? did anyone else know that? you would have thought such information would have come up sooner. i can't believe this is just now being reported.

Or how Chris Wells got the nickname "Beanie". What about Laurinitas' dad being a pro wrestler?

 

[UpNorthBuckeye]

well, which do you prefer? repeated stories about Cris Carter's son playing for the Buckeyes, or the ever-popular "why can't the Big Ten win the big games"?

I heard we used to have a guy that majored in Molecular Genetics.

Duron is probably the player I'm most interested seeing in the coming years in S&G. The potential, I think, for this kid is unlimited. He had great hands, he is polished in his route running and he's a tall kid. I want to see him on the field immediately, as I think he can impact any game he plays in.
