Devin Carter Jr. Lights Up FSU's D As Tallahassee Triumphs!
Devin Carter isn’t just following his father’s footsteps at FSU—he’s creating his own legacy one practice at a time.
Freshman wide receiver Devin Carter arrived at Florida State carrying one of the program’s most familiar last names. Now he’s working to make sure his own legacy stands beside— not behind—his father’s. Carter, the son of former FSU running back and first-round NFL draft pick Dexter Carter, said he embraces the expectations that come with being a legacy player.
“I fully respect the legacy,” Carter said. “I’m here to create my own legacy while also living in my dad’s legacy. ” The 6-foot-1, 177-pound freshman enrolled early at FSU, a move he said made the transition smoother thanks to years of preparation and familiarity with the team.
“It made me more comfortable. I was prepared,” Carter said. “There are a lot of guys in the locker room I’ve been watching during visits for the past three or four years.
Getting word from them, knowing what to expect—it made it easier. The coaches gave me the real recruiting process, so it felt the same when I got here. ” Carter has quickly stood out through the opening week of spring practices.
