Ohio State freshman defensive tackle Jarquez Carter racked up jaw-dropping numbers in high school—312 tackles, 129 TFLs, and 43 sacks—but how soon can Buckeye fans expect to see him in the rotation?

In this episode, we break down Carter’s recruitment, why he picked OSU over his childhood favorite Florida, and how Larry Johnson envisions his role at 3-tech. We also discuss Carter’s elite first step, pass-rush mentality, and the Haskell Garrett/Mike Hall comparisons being thrown around.

Will Carter redshirt? Can he crack the two-deep as a freshman? And what’s his long-term ceiling in Columbus?

All that and more in today’s Buckeye breakdown.
