For those who have missed the rumors, the Tennessee Vols are apparently close to a Nico-like situation with Boo Carter. Alabama football fans know that the Tennessee secondary would take a serious hit from a Boo Carter exit. The Vols only gained three players on the recent preseason All-SEC teams. All three were defensive players. Tennessee's lone First Team selection was Jermod McCoy, who may not be fully healthy until early October. Another was third-team sophomore defensive back Boo Carter.
According to All For Tennessee (AFT), Carter was believed to be entertaining a transfer move to Colorado before the Vols sweetened his NIL deal.
