I think the only way he gets into the NFL at this point is if its a favor for his dad by a team...3 schools so far and trouble with the 2 major ones...i cant even see a team wanting to waste the league minimum on that

The mystery of Duron Carter: where is the high-powered recruit?
by Marc Torrence

Wide Receiver Duron Carter has yet to play a down for the Tide.
?Where is Duron Carter??

Go to any Alabama football event *? a game, practice, press conference or even just a discussion among passionate fans ? and you?re almost guaranteed to hear that question asked.

Carter, the transfer wide receiver from Ohio State via Coffeyeville Community College, has been something of an enigma ever since his transfer was announced last spring.

He was billed by ESPN, rivals and many of the other scouting services to have the potential to be the next breakout receiver for Alabama since the departure of Julio Jones. Adding to the hype, he was supposed to wear number eight if he ever saw the field.

But that?s the problem. He never did, and he still hasn?t.

Academic issues and transcript problems kept Carter on the sidelines for the duration of the 2011 season, and he was eventually given a redshirt. He could only watch as Alabama won its 14th National Championship.

Although, it?s not like he didn?t contribute to the effort.

He practiced with the team all of last season, giving the Alabama defensive backs a formidable scout team receiver to go against in practice. The DBs all raved about Carter?s athletic ability and skill at the receiver position. At one point, he even ran the scout team offense as a quarterback to get the Tide prepared for Jordan Jefferson at LSU.

But every week, reporters asked Nick Saban if Carter had been cleared to play. Every week they got the same answer. For one reason or another ? and many times those reasons were not made public ? Carter could never be declared eligible to play, only to practice.

And so we come to 2012.
