Diving into the Scouting Lenz with UNC running back, Michael Carter
The son of a former professional football player overseas, Carter was actually born in Japan. Watching his father, Tony, play before he could walk, it was almost a foregone conclusion that young Michael would fall in love with the pigskin just like his father had. In 2001, Carter would move back to the United States with his family.
The former three-star running back recruit from the state of Florida, Carter would end up committing to the University of North Carolina. Carter would be productive right away as a Tar Heel, racking up nine touchdowns and 659 total yards as a true freshman. He would not quite break out in 2018 as a broken wrist in August slowed down his progress.
