The source told ESPN that Carter had been informed by the coaching staff that he wasn't going to play against the Aggies because of disciplinary issues. But the coaches still expected Carter to attend the homecoming game and watch from the sideline.

When Volunteers coach Josh Heupel was asked about Carter's status following Saturday's game, he said: "At the end of the day, there's a standard you've got to meet to be in that locker room, so he was not out on the field with us. That will be my last response to anything related to that for right now."

Carter, a former ESPN 300 recruit in the Class of 2024, had 25 tackles, three forced fumbles, three passes defended and one sack as a backup nickelback in eight games this season. He averaged 13.2 yards on 11 punt returns.
