‘23 TN LB Arion Carter (Tennessee)

[NighthawkVol]

Telander is a dude that just keeps getting better. I think he plays with the most intensity. Wide shoulder kid that has the best instincts i have ever seen from a LB

Smith plays very smooth but also 100 mph.
He bends well on blitz and is always pressuring the backfield. Again...good instincts


Carter is like a rocket that has a damn guidance system. He doesn't just run fast. He hits dead center and explodes through the ball carrier.

I'm glad Beasley and Mitchell are here for one more year, but i personally think 2023 will have no drop off from that position

Agree. And I think Herring might be a starter alongside Beasley with a year under his belt.

Probably the worst game I remember, period.

This year’s SCjr game is as bad as it gets. Boat raced by a team that had been struggling with a trip to the playoffs if we win. Also losing to Beamer - arg.

Arions game, reminds me of the Rashaan Evans Bama highlights just an explosive heat seeking missile on blitzes and run stuffing...

Nope. 1990 Alabama was worse.

Him and his brother can ball.

I feel much more comfortable about LB now.

At the same time....i don't know who will be the top 4.
1) Beasley
Mitchell because of experience?
Herring is very talented. Starting ability.
Telander?? Could see him starting.
Smith...could see him starting.
Carter could also be right there.

I’m now MORE worried about Safety with McCollough coming back. I hope they’ll open up competition in the fall and spring instead of just going with experience.

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

This kid is going to be FUN to watch for the next few years. Big time, downhill hitter.

And he shows good coverage ability too something we’ve been missing in the Lb room…

STAR is the perfect position for him.

Tank was benched last year for Charles in the middle of the season. Then Charles immediately got hurt. ....Annoying.

I think they have plan for Tank and it doesn't include him playing deep. I hope so anyway...

That game still makes me want to scratch my eyeballs out of my head.

Calling it now. Carter will absolutely kill it during the All-American bowl and get bumped to a 5*, just like Kyle Phillips did a few years ago.

Phillips was ranked around 112 before the game. Ended up being a star the whole week and got the bump.

i though carter opted out, and is here for bowl practices?

I'm an idiot and you could be right. Idk lmao

hobbs and seldon are playing in it though lol, so they can ball out and move up in the final rankings even more

they can still play in the games, AP has a "business trip" to hawaii to watch nico play in the Polynesian bowl

Quite possible, Nico was messing with him on his IG story.

 

[drvenner]

It didn’t suck imo. Palmer converted the 2 pt conversion to tie. Tennessee snapped a 7 game losing streak.

I’ll never forget it.

It was a great game. I still think it overall sucked because we had 'em.

 

[drvenner]

You said it didn’t suck…. It was my second most hated Bama game that I have watched/went too….. 1990’s game is still the worst Alabama game that I can remember, imo.

The 1990 Bama game is far and away the worst game in the history of sports. But, do agree, the David Palmer game sucked bad. Real, real bad.

 

[drvenner]

That game still makes me want to scratch my eyeballs out of my head.

I can still vividly recall the two loud thumps of the blocked kick. I was not even over the shock of that when Bama kicked the winning FG. I think I was sitting in EE. Just flat out awful. The girl I was seeing at the time worked at Applebee's and we went there because she could get us some free drinks. Her roommate had to drive us both home because we both got shithammered, LOL.

Carter said he wasn't going to play in the AA game now in his interview with AP.

 

[UTvol1fn]

What's his temp jersey number?

 

[UTK]

We have to win these types of recruiting battles. PERIOD.
GBFO!!!

Too 5 classes from here on out my dude and never look back.

For the first time in a few years, I think we have some really good talent at the LB position. It may be young, but there is talent there.
