“Play with your all and not half.”
Camron Carter, class of 2028, is a 5’6″, 130 pound WR/DB out of Rougon, Louisiana. Carter plays with plenty of heart, leaving everything out on the field. When asked what football has taught him he responded, “Football has taught me to be strong, do not play scary, and to always stand on business respectfully. Play with your all and not half. Respect is further than the field.”
He shows ability on every side of the ball, recording a reception, tackle and kick return for five yards in the Gridiron Football Junior High All-American Bowl Game. He compares himself to Odell Beckham Jr. because of his appreciation for route running and ability after the catch. Carter is a team first player, stating that he likes football because it, “teaches you teamwork” and helps, “build character outside the field”. He also has potential as a passer, or at least in trick plays, as he stated that one of his biggest strengths is his arm strength.
