BOOM: Toneil Carter Commits To Texas

[Ryan Bridges]

Really nice pickup, all things considered. Herman came in just over three weeks ago with no running backs committed and three RBs on the roster, two of whom are coming off season-ending injuries. To land a blue-chip just six weeks from signing day is nothing to sneeze at. If they can add Eno, they'll be in great shape at the position.

I see Carter as someone who can help early as the sweeper on Power Read and Bash and on Outside Zone. If Kirk Johnson is healthy, he'd be my top pick for the role, and I think Porter can do it as well, but neither guy has much of an advantage over Carter in experience, and we can't assume Johnson will be the same as before the injury(ies). Carter also catches some passes (14 receptions this year, if MaxPreps is right), so he could see looks on Flare Screens and running flat routes on some of those triangle stretches.

Carter will endure a transition period as the Cypress ISD district lacked defense of any kind.  He will have to learn to pick up the tough yards, but love that he comes from a spread offense similar to what UH ran last season.  His immediate playing time will be directly impacted by Kyle Porter and his ability to be more comfortable reading blocks from a spread look as Porter wasn't familiar with that type of offense at Katy.

that alone makes me know that he is a tough SOB......the fact that he made it out of Jr High shows me that he might be the meanest guy around.....sort of like a "Boy Named Sue"

Good point

Carter didn't have much of a game in the 2nd Round of the playoffs against Cinco Ranch. Those boys are known for playing salty defense and fundamentally sound football. Red flag? I hope not...

But, he only averaged 2.7 YPC on 16 totes. Woof
