Willie Martinez recaps Boo Carter’s first game at Tennessee

Tennessee secondary coach Willie Martinez recaps freshman Boo Carter’s first game with the Vols.

Freshman defensive back Boo Carter made his collegiate debut for Tennessee in Week 1.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Carter recorded two tackles in the Vols’ 69-3 win versus Chattanooga.

Tennessee secondary coach Willie Martinez discussed Carter’s performance entering Week 2.

“I thought he did a great job,” Martinez said. “We had a couple guys that played for the first time, and he was one of them. Made some plays. Moment wasn’t too big for him. Obviously, we love to see what he looks like this game, because, obviously, you’re going to try to make the biggest improvement from game one to game two, but I thought he played well.”

The Vols will face North Carolina State in Week 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina (7:30 p.m. EDT, ABC).
