Instead of dropping bars like his rapper and Grammy-winning father Lil Wayne, Dwayne Carter boots field goals for the Red Elephants.
Steve Montoya and Zack Poff discussed Carter on the MaxPreps Podcast after he hit a pair of field goals last week — from 35 and 26 yards — in a 39-19 loss to defending national champion
Buford. The 5-foot-7, 140-pound kicker kept the game close early on, scoring the first six points for Gainesville before broke it open in the second half.

The attention surrounding Lil Wayne’s son will travel with him. Every
made kick figures to bring a new round of social media clips,
"A Milli" references and fans eager to see whether the rapper’s son can turn a high school football opportunity into a college career.
Carter already holds an offer from Deion Sanders and Colorado, which came from Coach Prime in June.
Weezy is a big sports fan, especially of the Green Bay Packers, and
his songs are littered with player and sporting references. Maybe one
day, his son's on-field exploits will make it to a song.
A transfer from
North Atlanta, Carter also has a soccer background and played for the Warriors as a sophomore.
