Nickel Ja’Had Carter is no longer on NC State’s Football roster.
Carter transferred to NC State this offseason from Ohio State. He entered the season as the starter at Nickel. After starting the first 4 games, he missed the game against Northern Illinois due to injury.
In his absence Redshirt Freshman Tamarcus Cooley started in his place. When he returned for the game against Wake Forest, Cooley still started, and Carter only played in 20 snaps.
This past Saturday, Carter once again didn’t start, and only played in 2 snaps.
After Cooley was ejected due to a targeting call, Redshirt Sophomore Isaiah Crowell came into the game, rather than Carter.
