Tennessee football is hosting two of its highest rated commits in the 2024 recruiting class on visits this weekend for its matchup against South Carolina. Four-star athlete Boo Carter and four-star receiver Braylon Staley each announced that they’re returning to Knoxville on Thursday.
Getting Carter on campus is a big win for Tennessee. The Chattanooga native is one of the most highly touted commits in the Vols’ 2024 recruiting class and the two-way star unofficially visited Colorado two weeks ago. The Buffs were one of Carter’s original finalists and have used their early season success to try to get Carter back on campus.
A Bradley Central standout, Carter and the Bears travel to Knoxville Friday night to face Farragut creating an convenient opportunity for him to return to Tennessee.
