Syracuse Football: 3-star DB Ja’Had Carter brings punishing style to CNY

The last domino to fall on the 2020 Syracuse football recruiting class was 3-star defensive back, Ja’Had Carter.

On National Signing Day the Orange were holding out for one final recruit and they got their man on Wednesday morning. Carter chose Syracuse over offers from Florida Atlantic and Texas Tech.

Syracuse football announced the addition on social media with a continuation of its comic book theme.

Ja’Had “The Joker” Carter is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound cornerback prospect. Richmond, Virginia native was ranked as a top-50 athlete in the class of 2019 before he did a postgraduate year at Jireh Prep Academy.
