Ohio State football is setting up to have an explosive 2025 recruiting class and today the class got even better. Jarquez Carter is a highly sought after three-star defensive lineman from the state of Florida and announced his intentions on playing for the Buckeyes Thursday.
Ohio State has added some serious talent to the defensive line this recruiting cycle and Carter will be joining Trajen Odom and Maxwell Roy. The consensus top 50 defensive lineman in the country was offered by Ohio State last November during a gameday visit and the Buckeyes have been at the top of his list ever since.
He chose the Buckeyes over Miami, who swooped in and stole Justin Scott last year. He also chose Ohio State over another Big Ten power in Penn State.
BOOM! 2025 four-star DL Jarquez Carter has committed to Ohio State!
