FOUR-STAR DEFENSIVE TACKLE JARQUEZ CARTER COMMITS TO OHIO STATE
CARTER BRINGS STRONG PRESENCE TO OSU'S INTERIOR DEFENSIVE LINE
Per 247Sports' composite rankings, Carter is considered the No. 395 overall prospect and the No. 42 defensive lineman in the 2025 class.At 6-foot-2 and 284 pounds, defensive tackle is likely where Carter will play at the collegiate level.
“I see myself moving around the whole line, kind of like an Aaron Donald type,” Carter said. “I’d say my get-off and how I use my hands (makes me dominant on the field).”
Last season, Carter recorded 67 tackles, 37 tackles for loss, nine sacks and 15 quarterback hurries while leading Newberry High School (Newberry, Florida) to a 9-3 record. As a sophomore, Carter totaled 78 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, eight quarterback hits, two pass breakups and a forced fumble.
“I’d say I’m a pass-rush first type of guy,” Carter said in November. “I get off the ball really fast and use violent hands. I’m not going to stop until the play is over with.”
When Carter arrives at OSU, he'll likely need a season or two to adjust to the collegiate game before becoming a consistent figure in Johnson's defensive line rotation. But he has the tools to become a future key contributor on the Buckeyes' defense.
