Second time's the charm. After finishing runner-up in his high school recruitment, the Miami Hurricanes secured the commitment of Jarquez Carter out of the transfer portal.

Carter, a 6-foot-2, 290-pound defensive lineman, signed with Ohio State last year as a four-star prospect out of Newberry, Florida.

During his freshman season with the Buckeyes, Carter appeared in seven games and registered one tackle. He played 51 snaps in total. He has three years of eligibility remaining. He chose the Canes over Texas A&M.

Carter joins former teammate DT Mykah Newton, who signed with the Hurricanes last year. Donta Simpson, the other defensive tackle in Miami's 2025 class, has since transferred to Missouri.

Carter was a two-sport athlete at Newberry (basketball) and brings initial quickness, strength and motor to the position.

Solid add. Preferred proven production with Brewu, but let's go.

I think he's a better fit for our scheme than what Matt Patricia had going on over at OSU.

Love this kid in this defense. They're looking for quickness and explosion at that spot in this defense. Add violence and his hand usage at 18 y/o and this kid is good.

There are few DT's in the portal I'd take over this kid, the Wake Forest kid and not many others. Add to it him being a multi-year guy and this is best case scenario for me.

STG punching the air right now reading this.

great get was a priority before and fills in as a more explosive simpson.

Im guessing if Jones stays he will be along the lines of a spaceater for us. This spring is important for getting him healthy and possible to eat a few snaps a game.

this is a great addition for the DT rotation next season. If Artavius Jone, sticks around I will be paying very close attention to how D Lew develops him, he has the tools to be dominate.

DT Depth could be impressive in 2026
RSR Ahmad Moten 6-3 305
JR Justin Scott 6-4 310
JR Armondo Blount 6-4 285
SO Jarquez Carter 6-1 290
RSO Artavius Jones 6-3 310
FR Keshawn Stancil 6-3 285 or RFR Mykah Newton 6-3 285

Got you. So outside of the top 3 you have a combined 1 tackle and 50 career snaps from 1 guy. You're right.

Top 3 is very good. Beyond, it's all unknown with no experience.

Can you name 1 team in history of college football that went into a season with 4 highly productive defensive tackles on their roster?
