Another legacy player coming to Knoxville was part of the loaded secondary Butch Jones and the coaching staff were going for in recruiting this past year, and that legacy player is safety Nigel Warrior. The son of two-time Tennessee Football All-American safety Dale Carter in 1990 and 1991, Warrior committed to the Vols on National Signing Day.
A four-star on Rivals out of Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Ga., Warrior is not just another elite Georgia prospect coming to Tennessee. He is an Army All-American looking onto carry his father’s legacy, from roughly the same position. To be fair, Carter was much more of a lockdown and speedy cornerback who could catch anything.
