DT Jarquez Carter commits to Miami

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.



He's killing folks on these highlights.
Gotta love his motor.
 
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.
Did you not watch us develop Moten and him turn from a rotation piece to arguably a day 1 pick after next year?

Credit to Moten as well.

Which is the point, you get guys who want to be great.
 
You're post states he is not a depth piece. I'm not sure 50 snaps suggests otherwise.

Anything can happen, but expecting him to be more than a depth piece right now is a reach.
A freshmen that played that amount a games and snaps at a grown man position then expecting him to take a step to a rotational spot is far from a reach . Thats literally common for a true freshmen getting burn to take a step the next year. If he was a “ depth piece they wouldn’t have played him that much and wouldn’t have wanted him to leave. As you know JT and the staff loved this guy and was on him immediately the second time around. Nothing about this says depth . Jmo, we’ll see.
 
18 year old playing 7 games and 50 + snaps as a true Fr at OSU at a grown man position. Not sure what you’d expect. On top of that that they didn’t want him leaving . This is a nice rotational pickup.
I don't get some of these dudes, acting like we signed the first 18 y/o who was a finished product and can't get any bigger/stronger and his game more polished. OSU was arguably the best defense statistically over the last 15 years, and this kid was still able to get some snaps in the trenches. Even if he never becomes anything more than a depth piece, this is a good pickup.

For next year IMO it does. I am not talking beyond. My argument was for Brewu over Carter for 2026.

Let's hope he can contribute nicely in 26

DT is a mustache position . I was shocked Quez even hit on the field at that program and played that amount of plays. I mean he was a 3 star recruit on 247. The exceptions that normally get pt are highly rated guys.
 
I believe he had an injury early on. But even then I wasn’t expecting much from the updates I’d heard.
You think Jones has a spot on the team next season,we bring in Carter for Simpson and are bringing in 4 DTs to back up Moten,Scott and Blount.

For 2026 Brewu is 100% the better option. I am not talking beyond.

Carter has done literally nothing. ****, Simpson had more production and he had none.

No we don't know that.

Again past production is nice, but there can be future production without past production. If a kid can't get on the field for a top 3 defense it's not always because you can't produce when you do.
