Sophomore linebacker Arion Carter enters his second season at Tennessee in 2024.
The 6-foot-1, 234-pound sophomore appeared in eight games and missed the final five games of the season after shoulder surgery. He recorded 17 tackles, one tackle for a loss and one pass deflection last season.
Carter met with media following Tennessee’s third practice during fall training camp on Saturday. He discussed the unit under first-year linebackers coach William Inge.
“I think it starts with him holding us accountable,” Carter said. “He is a great coach. He wants to see us be the best every single day, day in and day out. I took that to heart as far as being accountable, holding other guys accountable and then holding us accountable as a team and as a group.
“You know we have to drive the bus on defense and the team in general. I feel like just us doing (that), our IQ has skyrocketed from last year to this year. I feel like we are just taking different steps along the way. The only way from here is up.”
Carter went to Tennessee from Smyrna High School in Smyrna, Tennessee.
