Antwaun Carter (born September 9, 1981) is an American former football running back.
Carter played at South Aiken High School, where, in addition to football, was a track star, winning the state 100-meter title in 2001. The same year he won the state title in the shot put. The football team had lost 29 consecutive games going into his senior season, which Carter finished with 1,856 yards, before finally breaking a 42–14 win against Midland Valley High School behind Carter's 200-plus rushing yards[1]
College career
After limited scholarship offers coming out of high school, he enrolled at Sacramento City College, eventually drawing attention from Boise State University head coach Dan Hawkins, and transferred to join Boise State's 'tailback by committee' approach as a short yardage and goal line back.
Carter's playing career at Boise State University began his junior season of 2004, posting 278 yards on 75 rushes and 7 touchdowns. He returned his senior season to record 100 rushes for 440 yards and 10 touchdowns.[2] His only catch came in 2004 for a 9-yard gain.
According to one interview,[3] Carter entered into his senior season believing he'd be seeing time primarily as the goal line back, but as the season continued, he was involved in heavy rotation with the other backs. He finished with 10 touchdowns on 100 carries for 840 yards.
