The high school football season is right around the corner and to build up the anticipation, Lettermen Row is going to roll out a primer for every Ohio State commit. There are 24 pledges to the Buckeyes’ 2025 class and we will discuss things we want to see from the commits, and one big game for the pledge. This is story No. 16 .
COLUMBUS — Ohio State has the reputation of being a reputable program for developing defensive linemen. Position coach Larry Johnson has six verbal commitments for his 2025 haul including four-star Newberry (Fla) defensive tackle Jarquez Carter .
The 6-foot-2, 270-pound Carter committed to the Buckeyes on July 18, exactly one month after his official visit. The Buckeyes were a dark horse in the race for Carter until they emerged as the clear front-runner just a few days before his announcement.
Carter gives Ohio State another critical depth piece and an underrated talent. His recruitment, for now, is over, and his senior season is rapidly approaching. Lettermen Row lists out a few things we’re eager to see from him and highlights one big game on his schedule.
