Boo Carter has apparently not been on the good side of the Vols coaching staff. With fall camp right around the corner, it is a hit or miss if he comes back to Rocky Top.
The Tennessee Volunteers are just days away from kicking off fall camp as they prepare for their season opener against Syracuse. However, an unfortunate situation has overshadowed the team’s preseason buzz — and it doesn’t involve players gearing up for the field. Sophomore Boo Carter has missed numerous team activities, and it's not sitting well within the program.
“Tennessee sophomore defensive back Boo Carter is expected to be one of the Volunteers' best players in 2025 on defense, offense and special teams, but his status with the team is unclear as we inch closer to August. Carter has missed ‘numerous’ team activities and was even confronted by team leaders because of his absences, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel,” CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani wrote.
Adding to the drama, Carter has also blindsided his former agent. Apparently, the agent didn’t even know he’d been replaced, as Carter and his mother have been unresponsive regarding the matter.
“I did represent Boo. However, I'm not sure I still do," Isaac Conner wrote in a text message to CBS Sports. "He has been non responsive and so has his mother. They posted something about Omar Cooper representing him and advising him now."
Head coach Josh Heupel has made it clear that no individual is bigger than the Power T — not even himself — and he reportedly wouldn’t hesitate to move on from Carter if necessary. If Carter is dismissed from the program, he's already been linked to a Big 12 school. For now, the outcome remains uncertain.
“We'll see how this situation plays out. For now, it feels like it's 50/50 on whether Carter plays for the Volunteers this fall,” A to Z Sports’ Zach Ragan wrote.

There's no denying that Carter is a vital part of Tennessee’s roster, but Heupel isn’t known for compromising team standards. Fall camp begins July 30, and Heupel is expected to meet with the media beforehand to address lingering questions. As it stands, Carter’s future with the program is completely up in the air.
