The Tennessee Vols are among the top schools for one of the top in-state players in the 2024 recruiting class.

2024 four-star athlete Boo Carter revealed his top five schools on Tuesday and he included Tennessee, along with Ohio State, Michigan, Colorado, and Oregon.

Carter, 5-foot-10/184 lbs from Chattanooga, TN, is ranked in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 32 athlete in the nation and the No. 5 player in the state of Tennessee.

The expectation is that Carter will play safety at the next level, though he told On3 that he's open to playing running back as well.

“I like how coach Heupel has already changed the program at Tennessee," said Carter to On3. "They went from bad to good quickly. A lot of people weren’t messing with Tennessee, but Heupel changed that."

"The team has great chemistry and they are building something," added Carter. "Coach (Willie) Martinez and I talk a good bit. They like me in the secondary and I will spend more time with coach Martinez soon. I like the changes, how Tennessee is close to home and they have good things going.”

Carter is planning to commit next summer after he takes all five of his official visits.
