Carter has offers on the table from Colorado State, Nebraska, Oregon State and Fresno State.
Oklahoma is beginning to take an interest in Carter and has asked for senior tape. If OU likes what they see, then they are going offer him a trip.
UNLV called Wednesday (Nov. 9th) and he has friends on the team, the Rebels, at least at the present time, are a long shot.
Carter does have two favorites at this time Fresno State and Oregon State. He has already taken one official visit to Fresno State.
"My trip to Fresno State was very good," Carter said. "I was able to spend a lot of time with the players even though the visit was during the season."
"There is an excellent opportunity for early playing time at Fresno State," Carter said. "They also have a good incoming class coming in."
"I was able to meet most them on my official visit," Carter said. "I met more of the commits when I took an unofficial visit to Fresno State this past weekend. I like the players coming in for the Class of 2006."
"I took the unofficial visit with my parents," Carter said. "So they could meet the coaching staff."
"I like the overall program at Oregon State," Carter said. "I'm interested in playing in the Pac 10 and I have friends who are playing there and are alumni of Oregon State. They say nothing but good things about the school and the football program."
Though Carter currently favors Fresno State and Oregon State, he told Rivals.com that he is very open and is still looking at other schools and expects to take more visits.
Carter thought he had a visit to UCLA, but he's not sure if he does anymore.
