Redshirt sophomore running back Nathan Carter – who doesn’t mind being called “Nate” – transferred to Michigan State from Connecticut this offseason.
When Carter decided to leave UConn and enter his name into the transfer portal, he took a “leap of faith,” unsure of where it would lead him. We know now that the answer is at Michigan State with running backs coach Effrem Reed and the Spartans. At the time, though, Carter trusted his faith and followed the path that was set for him.
“I would describe it as taking a leap of faith,” Carter said about his decision to enter the transfer portal. “I felt my time at UConn had come to an end and I was being called to go somewhere else. I didn't really know where that was. So I was kind of taking a leap of faith as far as trusting God for what plan he had for me. And then once I turned my name into the transfer portal I was surprised by all the feedback I got.”
It was Reed's vision for him that stood out.
