The guy broke Jesse Owen's NCAA title count in a single meet as a sophomore. Carter was also the only sprinter in NCAA history to win the national title in the 100m and 400m, and he did it on 40 minutes rest. The same meet he anchored our 4x400 relay that still holds the NCAA record time. If only the guy could have caught a football

And of course, who could forget him taking a knee on the 1 at UGA? Couldn't find a short clip of it, but here's a replay of the game

ETA: the last picture I saw of him, he was standing on top of his range rover with two uzis in his hands. he got arrested i believe, and I haven't heard his name since

He had like 7 arrests or something crazy like that on a link I saw on the rant a few years ago.

Damn. Had he run track at LSU another season or extended his pro track career for a couple of more years, he'd have had an outside shot at a 30 for 30

Quite possibly the biggest waste of talent in our athletic program's history.

Not really because of

As decorated as he was on the track, I think he isn't even close to being a waste of talent in our athletic program. We took a chance on a track burner becoming a great football player and it didn't pan out but that doesn't make him a waste of talent.

Yeah, I went ahead and deleted that as it was a poor choice of words.

Was just thinking about LSU at the NCAA's today, and it reminded me of just how many titles Xavier could have won at LSU

Was he the one that ran in the Olympics? Or was it Bennie Brazell?

He never got to run in the olympics. I'm not even sure Brazell did, as talented as he was. He probably did though.

Richard Thompson went to LSU and got silver against Usain Bolt in 2008

Yes, he was a 5 Star. Whoever gave that ranking was fired from Rivals two years later.
