Opportunity for early playing time at Kentucky has caught 4-star LB Arion Carter's eye

At this moment, Arion Carter might be the hottest ’23 prospect in all of high school football. After all, who else can say they’ve hauled in scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Auburn, USC, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, LSU, and Florida all within a matter of five days?

Committed to the Memphis Tigers since June, Carter’s stock has exploded over the last couple of weeks. He took an unofficial visit to Alabama last weekend where he sat down and talked with head coach Nick Saban, ultimately receiving an offer. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound linebacker out of Smyrna (TN) High School has gone from unranked to a consensus four-star recruit in just a week’s time.
