It is no secret that the Ohio State defensive backfield was less than spectacular this season. In a scheme so reliant on athletic and versatile safety play it is vital that the backend of the defense improves for the 2023 season.
The Buckeyes have attempted to snag a few studs in the transfer portal and have fallen short, but Ohio State finally made a splash and grabbed a stud from the ACC in former Syracuse safety, Ja’Had Carter. The former Orange defensive back entered his name in the portal on December 15th after leading Syracuse in turnovers this season.
