The Buckeyes missed on a scholarship running back during the 2023 recruiting cycle though they took a preferred walk-on, [autotag]Willtrell Hartson[/autotag]).
They have not yet focused their efforts on the 2024 class of prospects either. As an example, when Tennessee’s [autotag]Boo Carter[/autotag] announced his initial top list of 12 schools in October, [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] was nowhere to be found.
Fast forward about two months and [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] has made a positive enough impression on Carter to be included in his top five along with Oregon, Colorado, Michigan and home state Tennessee. It’s a very good development for Day and running backs coach [autotag]Tony Alford[/autotag]. The need to add another quality back in the next cycle is very important.

What’s interesting about Carter is there is potential for him to play on the defensive side of the ball if playing on offense doesn’t work out. In short, he’s a football player we would love to see suit up in scarlet and gray at the next level.
