Curtis Carter left Baton Rouge on Wednesday afternoon without an offer from the Tigers, but he didn’t leave Baton Rouge empty-handed. The speedy athlete gained valuable knowledge about his collegiate position of wide receiver, and more importantly left with a heavy bag of motivation.
“It was disappointing at first because I thought that I really did everything I could to get an offer,” said Carter. “So of course this is going to motivate me throughout my season.”
Carter, who just started practicing at wide receiver about a month ago, claims to have learned a lot from camp and says that what he learned will go a long way at the next level.
“Coach Mac (D.J. McCarthy) is a really good coach and I learned a lot about the receiver position,” stated Carter. “I had a lot of fun hanging out with the other guys at camp, but what I learned was definitely the highlight for me.”
Carter, who possesses sub 4.4 speed, spent some one-on-one time with Les Miles once he checked out of camp, and the headman did not shut the door on a potential offer down the road.
“He told me that he would be keeping an eye on my progress throughout the season and that they hoped that they could make it work,” Carter said.
Carter still plans on visiting LSU and Nebraska both officially this season but he has not decided which game to attend.
Going into camp the Cornhuskers were the team to beat. Is that still the case?
“For sure,” he said.
Carter holds offers from Nebraska, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi State, TCU, Louisiana Tech, and others.
