FAU wide receiver Duron Carter will be in his old stomping grounds Saturday afternoon when the Owls take on the No.1 ranked Crimson Tide, but it'll only be as a spectator. Carter, a transfer from Alabama, was declared ineligible to play this season, according to the Sun Sentinel.
Carter(6-foot-5, 215 pounds), the son of former NFL star wideout Cris Carter, petitioned for a hardship waiver in the hopes for immediate eligibility this season at FAU. NCAA rules dictate that a transfer player sit out a season unless a dire reason is given. Carter's point focused on the premise that he wanted to spend more time with his family, which currently resides in Boca Raton.
FAU is Carter's fourth school in as many years.
He started his college career at Ohio State(13 receptions, 176 yards, and a touchdown in 2009) before transferring to Coffeyville Community College (44 receptions, 690 yards, 10 touchdowns). Carter was kicked off the Crimson Tide before playing a single game because of his academic standing.
Now that Carter is ineligible for this season, his last year of college football will be 2013.
