Jarquez Carter

And so you, you know, and then the guys behind him, it's like, well, like you said, Beam Delane is playing at LSU.

When you're looking at the interior of the defensive line, like Jarquez Carter is playing at Miami right now.

Jarquez Carter's a backup at Miami, but he's played in eight games for the Hurricanes this year.

Like, would they love to have him? Yeah, I bet he would be in the top five at Ohio State right now.

You know, not starting, but he'd be in the top five.

Damon Wilson, we know, is a transfer.

Jarquez Carter, as a rotational piece of the D-line, is a transfer.

A guy that they did recruit heavily out of high school.

But yeah, Miami is doing a very good job blending that.

How about Ryan Mack with 29 at corner? Marquise Lightfoot with a top defensive grade, according to PFF on the edge there for Miami, him and Damon Wilson, both with 28.

And then, you know, Jarquez Carter starting to flash a bit.

He had he had 15 snaps in this one.

Interesting.

Logan Nagel.

A little bit, again, skewed because you had guys there with the twos and threes, and I think they wanted to get some of the younger guys, reps there in that moment.

But I think Jarquez Carter continuing to have a bigger role behind Scott and Moten is going to be interesting to watch here as the season progresses.

Kellen Wiley, there we go.

Like, there wasn't a ton of rotation.

You did see some Jarquez Carter.

You didn't see that much Keona Davis.

So, like, you did see those two really play most of the game, which is interesting.

I think that's what Miami is going to do now.

They did get last year Jarquez Carter and Keona Davis in the portal.

But what I'm told is Jamar Thompson is an option.

Miami going heavy, heavy in the portal.

Cause I feel like they're going to, they're going to go get someone there.

And then like you get Keona Davis back next year, you get Jarquez Carter.

I know they haven't needed those guys to play huge roles, but I feel good about them being, you know, maybe not the number one, but if that's your two and three, You get Armando Blount back, and he's going to hopefully get him back.

And there's no guarantees that Justin Scott's gone after this year, right? There's a lot of talk about it being a potential thing for him if he's a first-round pick, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that he's gone either.

I would be upset with them if the product in the field this year from two years ago or last year was an issue.

You filled in Jarquez.

People forget you picked up Jarquez Carter last year, who was essentially a DT from two years ago, and he's showing good flashes.

Keona Davis, he's got eligibility after this.

He's another guy that you expect to step up.

Now, okay, you know, it's not like ready-made like this year, but you're kinda, you're, you're, you're getting somewhere there with those four.

And then D tackle, Keon Davis, Jarquez Carter.

If you have Blount, that'd be great 'cause he can help you both spots and then maybe one more.

Like, that might be the way to go as I play it out, of just like saying like, "We're not gonna get Jaden Bryant in the portal.
