Carter Turns Suspension Into Cancer Fight | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter’s one-game NCAA suspension—triggered by a pre-draft NFL trip—has turned into a powerful mission: he’s donating $427 per tackle, $500 per sack, $1,000 per interception or forced fumble, and $5,000 for a defensive touchdown, all to cancer charities. Inspired by his girlfriend’s breast cancer diagnosis, Carter is using his platform to fight back against the disease, teaming up with his mom’s nonprofit, Girls in Real Life Situations. Meanwhile, the Vols’ season takes a hit as sophomore wide receiver Joakim Dodson suffered a devastating injury, but Carter is ready to step up—literally and figuratively—for Tennessee’s showdown against Georgia Tech this Saturday night.
