Cam Newton sends 1-word message as Devin Carter flips from Auburn to Florida State

Cam Newton was thrilled when four-star wideout Devin Carter flipped his commitment from Auburn to Florida State. Carter had been committed to the Tigers since January, but seems to be heading to FSU in 2026.

When Newton caught wind of Carter's decision to join Florida State via Instagram, he dropped a one-word comment for the player.

"-1ØVĖ🤟🏾" Newton wrote.

Devin appears to be following in the footsteps of his father, Dexter Carter, who played as a running back at FSU from 1986 to 1989. During his four years at FSU, the RB rushed for 1,788 yards and 17 touchdowns on 327 carries, along with 740 yards and four touchdowns on 64 receptions.

The San Francisco 49ers took Dexter in the first round of the 1990 NFL draft. He played in the league for seven seasons and won the Super Bowl with San Francisco in 1995.

Dexter returned to Florida State as a coach in 2007. He served as the running backs coach for the Seminoles for three seasons.

Devin will aim for a similar trajectory as his father when he enters the collegiate level at FSU before potentially heading to the NFL.
