Alabama Football: Saban Snags Duron Carter, Former Buckeye, for the Tide

Article By on 3rd April, 2011

Larry Burton (Syndicated Writer) It didn’t take Duron Carter long to pull the trigger after meeting with Saban and the Alabama staff to decide to transfer to the Capstone in Tuscaloosa and become a Crimson Tide receiver.

“I want to win a national championship,” Duron Carter said to ESPN. “I believe in what Coach Saban and the players are doing. This is a great program.”

Duron and his famous father Cris Carter, former NFL receiver himself saw Alabama as the best place both for quick playing time as well as the structure he needed on and off the field to thrive as and athlete and a student.

Carter will be on campus soon, but will miss the spring practices. He has been working out on his own though and is expected to hit the ground ready to compete for playing time and possibly a starting job.

Carter had academic issues because of a lazy streak at Ohio State and was forced to leave the team. A year in Jr. College was all it took for Carter to get both his academics and his head back on straight.

Instead of re-signing with Ohio State, Carter looked to a fresh start and greener pastures and thinks he has found both with Alabama.

Carter is a physical type receiver, said to be in the mold of recently departed Julio Jones.

He has two years eligibility remaining.
