Leon Carter's Middle Name

Several SJI sources have confirmed that Leon Carter's middle name is Hugo.

An online post released on the 2010 Sports Journalism Insitute blog, citing no initial sources, reported Carter's name, but it was not confirmed until Monday afternoon when several sources close to SJI confirmed the information.

David Squires, columnist for the Daily Press in Newport News, released the information to the SJI Class of 2010 on Monday afternoon that the middle name of was related to B.J. Upton's nickname, Bossman Junior. Combined with Greg Lee's information that Carter's middle name was related to an upscale cologne line and a retail outlet chain, a guess was made and subsequently confirmed by both SJI instructors.

UPDATE (2:31pm): Ed Encina, writer for the St. Petersburg Times and SJI Class of 1997 graduate, confirmed the report in a later interview.
