Syracuse running back Delone Carter turned in one of the more impressive performances by a freshman back in school history in 2006, leading the Orange in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. For his efforts, Carter received honorable mention to The Sporting News Freshman All-America Team.
Carter led the Orange with 713 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 156 carries in 2006. His 713 yards rank second in school history for rushing yards by a freshman. Only the school’s all-time leading rusher Joe Morris rushed for more yards in his freshman season, accumulating 1,001 yards.
Carter, who is the first freshman to lead the Orange in rushing since Morris in 1978, averaged 59.40 rushing yards per game, the 11th-best mark by a freshman in the NCAA and the fifth-highest by a true freshman.
Carter, who was also named to The Sporting News All-BIG EAST Freshman Team, was named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll following his performance against Wyoming. He rushed for a career-best 129 yards and four touchdowns, including all 50 of SU’s yards in overtime and two touchdowns, to help lead Syracuse to a victory against the Cowboys. His 129 rushing yards are the most in school history by a true freshman in a single game, eclipsing the mark of 94 yards set by Damien Rhodes in 2002.
