ESPN featured Carter in an article titled, “Grambling State’s Martez Carter goes from humble beginnings to ‘Mr. Excitement’”.
He was brought to Grambling State’s team as a cornerback who wore the No. 40, but he took his spot on special teams very seriously.
His sophomore year, after working hard and proving his skills, No. 40 became No. 4 — a running back who returned kicks with such explosiveness and versatility on the field that he turned heads and caused fans to wonder who the new kid was.
