Tennessee Fans Will Love This: Amari Jefferson’s Glowing Endorsement of Boo Carter
In a recent interview with Off the Hook Sports, new Tennessee Vols wide receiver Amari Jefferson shared his thoughts on defensive back Boo Carter, and Volunteers fans are sure to love what they hear. Jefferson, who transferred from Alabama to UT earlier this month, has a long history with Carter, as the two grew up playing football together in Chattanooga.
When asked to describe Carter’s personality, Jefferson’s response was effusive. “Man, Boo’s a dog,” he said. “He’s been a dog since we were younger… He don’t back down from anybody. And he’s always been that way. He’s gonna get what’s his. He’s gonna work as hard as he possibly can to do that.”
Jefferson’s praise for Carter’s competitiveness and work ethic echoes the sentiments of Vols secondary coach Willie Martinez, who last spring described Carter as “explosive” and “very competitive.”
The good news for Tennessee fans is that they’ll get to see Carter’s “dog mentality” in action on both sides of the ball in 2025, as he’s expected to be a two-way player for the Volunteers.
Jefferson’s own decision to transfer to Tennessee was likely influenced by his familiarity with Carter and the Volunteers program. As he gets set to suit up for UT, fans can expect to see a high level of competition and camaraderie between Jefferson and Carter, both on and off the field.
With their combined talent and work ethic, the duo is sure to make waves in the world of college football. As the 2025 season approaches, Tennessee fans have plenty to be excited about – and Amari Jefferson’s glowing endorsement of Boo Carter is just the latest reason to believe that this could be a special year for the Volunteers.
