HOUSTON – Rice running back Jayson Carter, who said he’s 4-9, 130 pounds, just might be the smallest College Football player to ever suit up for Rice. Certainly he’s one of the smallest players ever in the Football Bowl Subdivision. And while Carter, who walked on to the Rice football team this week, is vertically challenged, he said he bases everything on the size of his heart. “If they ever come up with a device that measures the heart and put it on top of my head, they’ll see I’m 6-9,” said Carter in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. Carter, who played high school football at Kipp in Houston, does not consider his size as a disadvantage. “Not at all,” Carter said. “They’re at a disadvantage because I’m lower to the ground than they are. “I have the advantage. Let’s put it that away.” Carter said playing against much bigger athletes does not intimidate him. “All of my life I went against guys that are at least 70 pounds heavier than I am,” Carter said. “So it’s nothing I’m not used to. “When they see me they’re like, ‘whoa what’s going on.’ That gives me the upper hand.”
