Ohio State’s Culture, BIA Reputation and Similar Defensive Scheme to Syracuse Made Ja’Had Carter Transfer to Buckeyes

From the moment Ja’Had Carter walked through the front door of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on his official visit to Ohio State and was greeted by a lobby full of trophies and NFL jerseys of former Buckeyes, he felt like Ohio State was the place for him.

By the time his visit ended, the former Syracuse safety was sure he wanted to be a Buckeye.

“At the end of my visit, watching that video, kinda had me ready to suit up and go out there,” Carter said.

Ranked by 247Sports as the best safety to enter the portal during the winter transfer window, Carter had plenty of possible destinations.
