DB Ja'Had Carter / Portal from Ohio State to NC State

[SWC75]

Maybe we need a college draft.

 

[sdhall01]

This is how the transfer portal works itself out. Dude left a sure starting position to play in 8 games with five total tackles. I hope he finds a soft landing spot. I'd love to take him back, but I'm not sure we have room on the roster for him.

Hope he finds a great spot. Cuse or otherwise. Someone I will always root for.

 

[Trueblue25]

Would take him immediately.

Also - cbs has him as a top 15 safety prospect for 2025

He should have never transferred it was a real Munson.

Thurman or Larry?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

How is he able to portal without sitting out if tOSU didn’t lose a HC? Grad transfer ?

No sitting out for any portal

I think next year they are going to start penalizing guys that don’t transfer.Mandatory transfer rule coming soon.

I have no idea how guys are able to graduate with so many transfers. Typically, schools can only take in X% credits towards a degree per specific state laws. Maybe they just won't graduate?

 

[grepal]

Is he good enough to play here now?

 

[JuiceMeUp]

To be honest I would love to have him here, slot him at saftey and move Duce back to corner. But the coaches know far better than me

 

[tep624]

I’m still curious when he and Duce left if we simply couldn’t compete $$ at the time. Seems like a great opportunity for him to come back, pair up with Duce again and have both finish out their careers here on a positive note.

 

[Cusester]

Nebraska?

Duce got burned a lot at corner, if I recall correctly. Made some great plays on the ball, but got targeted a lot.

 

[sufandu]

It seems that Duce may have taken his spot. Not sure it would really be worth it anyway, given his injury history.

 

[CA Monk]

Not from New Jersey. Not a retake.

there is no more sitting out. Only have to meet eligible grades.

 

[SUfanNC]

Not from New Jersey. Not a retake.

Not that I think it matters but one of the coaches is a DMV guy

 

[Cuse12]

Not at all surprised. I cringe at starters (with NFL potential buzz already created here) who leave cuse to go to blue bloods. It’s crazy if your dream is to an NFL player to overlook exposure and PT for a small payday today but losing a large payday in the future.

 

[kcsu]

If you're starting for a any school in the Big, sec. Acc, 12 stay where you are unless you know that after college football you are done. Little to know shot at making the NFL.

I definitely agree with your point. But as I remember, there were a few reputable posters who mentioned at the time that Ja'Had had pretty significant immediate needs to help his family that might have made even the most rational of us think short term instead of long term.
