Ohio State football trending to add 2025 Florida defensive lineman Jarquez Carter

Although Ohio State football has a very good collection of 2025 defensive line commits, it’s still looking to add a few more.

One of those targets is Florida defensive tackle, Jarquez Carter. The 6-foot, 2-inch, 284-pounder has the look of an interior player. He’s currently ranked as the nation’s No. 395 overall prospect and 42nd defensive lineman according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

With Carter making his commitment in just a few days, on July 18, it’s looking like the Buckeyes will get a BOOM! on Thursday. 247Sports insider, Bill Kurelic, has logged a crystal ball pick for Ohio State to come out on top in his recruitment. Miami insider, Gaby Urrutia, also changed his pick today to the Buckeyes as well.

His four finalists are the Buckeyes, Miami, UCF and Penn State. The expectation is that he will announce in Ohio State’s favor.
