ATLANTA -- Georgia star defensive lineman Jalen Carter said on Thursday that he feels 100% again after a nagging ankle injury limited him for most of the first half of the season.

Carter, who figures to play a prominent role against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Saturday, missed two games this season and came off the bench rather than starting four other contests.

He said the recovery from the ankle injury was slow, but his teammates were supportive throughout, sending him encouraging messages.

It wasn't frustrating, he said, but it was "odd" because it was his first experience dealing with a significant injury.
