On Tuesday, Syracuse Orange rising junior Ja’Had Carter announced his commitment to the Ohio State Buckeyes over the Texas Longhorns despite visiting Austin last month prior to the recruiting dead period.
In the 247Sports transfer rankings, Carter is the No. 12 player overall and the top player at his position.
Carter, a Virginia product who had 36 tackles, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery in a strong 2022 season, was one of the only players publicly target by Texas since the NCAA transfer window opened last month.
