 JaHad Carter, North Carolina State, Player News


  Any questions Ryan Williams retained about new Ohio State football safety Ja'Had Carter's ability to succeed at the next level ended on Aug. 30, 2019. That day, Carter's Jireh Prep Academy took on the Naval Academy's junior varsity team. The Midshipmen were playing some juniors in that game. Running back Jamale Carothers ended the season as Navy's starter. That separation in age and development did not matter to Carter. Williams, Jireh's coach at the time, saw the defensive back add a new description to his makeup: "Fearless." "Ja'Had was fearless tackling that kid," Williams said, referring to Carothers. "That told me it didn't really matter. He had the ability to compete at that level without flinching and breaking."

Carter joins a Buckeye program seeking more stability in the back of its defense. He was a three-year starter at Syracuse - a freshman All-American in 2020 and an honorable mention All-ACC pick while leading the team in takeaways. Williams, though, said Carter's character may be his most impressive attribute. He said Carter comes from a particularly rough area in Richmond, Va. Williams, though, said Carter already had great drive and focus by the time he arrived at Jireh. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  Former Syracuse safety Ja'Had Carter has committed to Ohio State, just a few weeks after he entered the transfer portal. Carter was a three-year starter for Syracuse and a key part of the Orange's secondary. Carter played all 12 games this past season, recording three interceptions and leading the team in turnovers. He recorded an interception in SU's narrow 27-21 loss on the road at Clemson in October, while also notching a 90-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the same game that gave Syracuse a 13-7 lead.

The game was the first of three consecutive games where he grabbed an interception. In 2021, he had eight starts, but missed four games due to injury and still finished with 35 tackles and a pass breakup. In 2020, he led all SU defensive backs with 67 tackles, playing in all 11 games with 10 starts at safety. He also recorded two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. - The Daily Orange
