Dale Carter
1990, 1991
Defensive Back
Oxford, Ga.
Dale Carter came
to Tennessee to be a playmaker, and he did just that. In two seasons with
the Vols, Carter earned All-America status each year and garnered national
recognition as a sticky defensive back and an explosive kick return man.
It was his kick-return capabilities that sealed his All-America status
in 1990. He led the nation with 507 yards on 17 returns for an average
of 29.82 yards per return.
Carter also returned
29 punts for 381 yards, a 13.1-yard average. His senior year, he was
one of three final candidates
for the Thorpe Award given to the nation's top defensive back.
