Lavonya Quintelle "Quincy" Carter (born October 13, 1977) is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. He played college football at the University of Georgia. Carter has also been a member of the New York Jets, Montreal Alouettes, Bossier–Shreveport Battle Wings, Kansas City Brigade and the Abilene Ruff Riders. Additionally, from 1996 to 1999, Carter played minor league baseball in the Chicago Cubs organization.
Carter attended Southwest DeKalb High School in Georgia where he was a three-sport athlete (football, baseball and basketball) and was named the starting quarterback as a junior.
In his final year, he led the Panthers to the 1995 AAAA State Championship under Coach William Godfrey, making it the first all African American school to achieve this milestone at the highest competition level in the state of Georgia. He also received Parade All-American, All-state (second in a row) and Georgia Player of the Year honors. His teammates included future Olympic athletes Angelo Taylor and Terrence Trammell.
Carter originally signed a football letter of intent with Georgia Tech in 1996, but opted instead to play minor league baseball after being selected by the Chicago Cubs as an outfielder 52nd overall in the 1996 MLB Draft.
