COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Buckeyes have gone back to the city of Philly to look at a top linebacker after going cross town to get Marvin Harrison and Kyle McCord. Now they are looking at Abdul Carter, one of the best out there in 2022.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder is already reporting more than a dozen offers but the Buckeyes have not gotten on board, as of yet. Carter is ranked as a four-star by Rivals.com and holds offers from schools like Penn State, Michigan, USC, South Carolina and Nebraska to name just a few.

It was an opportunity to work with Al Washington and the Ohio State coaches and show the Buckeyes what he was all about.

“I think I am a guy who can move around a lot, can do a lot of things, rush the passer or cover sideline-to-sideline,” Carter said. “A do-it-all kind of guy.”

The conversations between Carter and Ohio State have been ongoing but by his own admission have not been “very heavy” to this point, but after showing the interest to camp with the Buckeyes, Carter is hoping that interest grows as Ohio State is a school that he is very interested in.
