I read the similar things on other boards with people saying he was a stepson or something. This baffles me since he is a spitting image of his father.

Like wad already said, that internet falsehood has been refuted, directly.

Talks about his contact with the LSU staff. Says LSU & Ohio State are his leaders.

Met Duron's grandma yesterday (Cris' mom) and she said that Duron is 100% Buckeye and will be committing before the season starts. She was extremely kind and when I asked her if he was sure he wanted to come all the way up to Ohio, she responded by saying that he will NOT be attending any other university than tOSU. A very cool person overall, she definitely looks like Cris.

how cool would that be. Everything I've read to this point had me thinking Duron might try to pursue his own legacy somewhere else. Gotta love the Buckeye families, and the legacy players creating their own legacies at Ohio State.

I hope this comes to fruition.

Fixed.

Sorry, someone had to do it.

Carter and Becker continue to click in Aquinas' spring practice

Duron Carter has inherited his father's playmaking ability at wide receiver.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Wide receiver Duron Carter and quarterback Ryan Becker have spent spring practice working on the same wavelength.
The silent language, or "mental audibles," shared between high-caliber wide receivers and quarterbacks -- an unspoken line of communication -- is the difference between hooking up for the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth and mistimed plays.

The pitch-and-catch combination found a stride last season as St. Thomas Aquinas High, No. 14 in the ESPN HIGH Elite 25 final football rankings, captured Florida's Class 5A championship, going 14-1.

At the mention of the last season, Carter deadpanned, "We're back to ground zero; we're starting over."

Carter, whose father, Cris, was an All-Pro wide receiver in the NFL with the Eagles, Dolphins and Vikings, is blossoming into one of the nation's top players. He is on the ESPN 150 Watch List and an Under Armour All-American, and his Scouts Inc. evaluation backs it:

"Carter shows toughness and competitiveness by coming back for blocks in open field: a good, physical blocker. Carter possesses very good hands and plays with confidence.

"He makes defenders miss in the open field and gets the important yards after the catch. Speed is one area of concern but like his Pro Bowl father Cris, he has a knack for making the big play and moving the chains."

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Carter has grown nearly two inches and added 15 pounds since last season. Schools such as Auburn, Ohio State (his dad's alma mater), LSU, West Virginia, Wisconsin and South Florida are the primary suitors.

As a junior, Carter caught 23 balls for 361 yards and eight TDs, but won't rest on his laurels. Instead he's aiming for a breakout season, stamping himself a go-to player.

"I'll need to work on my speed before heading to college," Carter said.

This kid's stats suck.
All he does is catch touchdowns!

They probably didn't realize who he was, it's not like he works there or anything.

You mean to tell me Duron's father was not the creator of the hit TV series, The X-Files?

But the resemblance is uncanny.
