FanHouse Duron Carter

Cris Carter went from Ohio State to a long and distinguished career as an NFL wide receiver. In fact, most believe he'll wind up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It's too soon to tell if Carter's son Duron will follow exactly in his father's footsteps, but he has the first step taken care of. Duron Carter, a true freshman, is looking to get on the field as Ohio State's fourth receiver this fall, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

For his part, Poppa Cris is trying to avoid taking credit for his son's success, passing it all off to his son's high school, St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Again, fair enough; Aquinas is ranked No. 1 nationally this season by many polls.

Now, guess who coaches Aquinas' receivers?

Buckeye fans may remember an OSU receiver by the name of Cris Carter, who went on to have a rather nondescript career in the NFL. Carter was an All-American receiver at OSU in the early 80's before he caught a paltry 1,101 passes in the NFL, 130 for touchdowns.

Weak, right? Right. It appears, then, that his son Duron is ready to continue the Buckeye legacy (for some reason!), as he recently committed to the Buckeyes:

"I felt very comfortable with the coaching staff," Carter said. "I like the way that Ohio State as a whole and the city of Columbus treats their players on and off the field and I felt like it was the right place for me."

Carter is a 6'3", 185 pound wideout (of course), and he stands to create a devastating combination with superrecruit Terrelle Pryor. Wait, what's that sound? Never mind, it's just Michigan fans throwing themselves off the top of the Big House.
