The Crimson Tide's transfer wide receiver isn't certain to play against Penn State Saturday, but it's clear enough he'll have the opportunity to prove himself worthy of the opportunity in practice this week. The circumstances under which Alabama will take on the Nittany Lions make the benefit of an added receiving threat obvious: A first-year starting quarterback will play at one of the nation's toughest road venues, and will do it without help from one of UA's two most proven receivers in Darius Hanks.
Although Carter hasn't been around the Alabama program very long, he can draw on a year of experience at Ohio State and another at the junior college level as he prepares to play as quickly as possible for UA.
"He's good. He's practiced six practices, really practiced hard, gave good effort," UA coach Nick Saban said. "I was pleased with the physical condition he was in, and he's been able to implement himself with some practice time in pads now. We're gonna see how he picks things up and see what kind of a contribution that he can make."
