Ohio State defensive tackle commit is scheduled to officially sign his National Letter of Intent on Thursday afternoon. The signing ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. ET at Newberry High School in Newberry, Florida.
Carter’s signing will add to an already impressive haul for the Buckeyes along the defensive line. On National Signing Day, Ohio State secured commitments from two standout interior linemen: Trajen Odom and Maxwell Roy. The addition of Carter further solidifies the Buckeyes’ focus on bolstering their defensive front with top-tier talent in this recruiting cycle.
This isn’t a case of Carter delaying his decision or extending his recruitment beyond Signing Day. According to statements Carter made to Bucknuts last week, the signing ceremony had been planned in advance for Thursday to accommodate both him and his high school teammates. The timing ensures that all players can celebrate their decisions together in front of their community, friends, and family.
Carter’s commitment has been a significant addition to Ohio State’s recruiting class. As a highly-regarded defensive tackle from Newberry High School, he brings a blend of size, strength, and athleticism to a position of need for the Buckeyes. His signing will officially lock in his place within a program known for producing elite defensive linemen.
The Buckeyes’ defensive line recruits, including Carter, are expected to play a critical role in Ohio State’s long-term defensive strategy. The coaching staff has prioritized adding depth and versatility to the unit, and Carter’s skill set aligns perfectly with their vision. His ability to disrupt plays in the interior and his high football IQ make him a valuable asset for the Buckeyes as they aim to maintain dominance in the Big Ten and on the national stage.
With his signing ceremony just hours away, Carter is set to join one of the nation’s premier programs and begin the next chapter of his football journey. His addition reinforces Ohio State’s reputation as a top destination for defensive line talent.
