Cleveland, TN-(WDEF-TV) Bradley Central’s Boo Carter just wrapped up his recruitment over the weekend…annoucing he’s headed to play for the Vols.

Many of the nation’s elite college teams wanted Carter’s talents, as well as one of the nation’s premiere entertainers.

Boo Carter’s recruiting process kicked off before his sophomore year in high school with an unexpected call from Tennessee assistant Wille Martinez.
Said Carter:”He was telling me how he liked how I played. He liked my physicality. He liked my speed, and he liked my vision. So he offered me that sophomore year.”

Reporter:”You mentioned Jay Z wanted you to come up there to make the committment. Does that men he called you or texted you or how did that come about?”
Said Carter:”Nah. He ain’t text me. He got in cotact with my coach, so my coach told me, so that’s how it went.”
