Carter Nelson Talks Visit To Georgia, Where His Recruitment Stands

High School Football Standout Carter Nelson, Discusses His College Recruitment, Skill Development, and Transition to Collegiate-Level Football.

As one of the most promising high school Tight End recruits in the country, Carter Nelson has been receiving significant attention from top college programs. We recently had the opportunity to chat with Carter about his current recruitment status, thoughts on specific schools, and his plans for the future.

When asked about his current recruitment status, Carter shared that he has four official visits lined up. "I have visits scheduled to Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Nebraska," he said. These visits will provide him with the opportunity to explore each campus, meet with coaches and players, and ultimately help him make a well-informed decision about where he will continue his football career.

Thoughts on the University of Georgia and Coach Todd Hartley

Nelson had high praise for the University of Georgia and their tight ends coach, Todd Hartley. "UGA has had so much success, and they work hard for what they get. The energy they play with is great," he explained. "Coach Hartley is the best of the best. He knows how to communicate and have fun with his players but also knows how to get down to business."

Addressing the Competition at UGA

Some critics may question Carter Nelson potentially committing to UGA, given the current depth at tight end and two other committed players. However, this doesn't seem to faze him stating: "They have the best tight ends in the country, and that's because they know how to use their tight ends. The fact that they already have two commits doesn't affect my decision at all," he said.

Improving His Game

As he prepares for his senior year, Nelson has identified some areas of his game that he wants to improve. "I've never had to block, so I want to work on that to be prepared for college," he revealed. Focusing on this skill will undoubtedly make him a more versatile and valuable player at the collegiate level.

Transitioning from 8v8 Football to College Football

Carter currently plays 8v8 football, and he recognizes that there will be adjustments to make when transitioning to the college level. "The biggest change is going to be with the terminology of everything," he said. Despite the changes, Nelson is excited to take on new challenges and adapt to the college game.

As Carter's recruitment journey continues, we look forward to seeing which program he ultimately commits to and how his senior season unfolds.
