Ja’Had Carter, a three-year starter at safety for Syracuse, has entered the transfer portal. He’s the ninth SU player to enter the portal so far, and the fourth who was on the depth and saw significant snaps with the Orange.
Carter was a key member of Syracuse’s secondary, playing in all 12 games and recording three interceptions. He led the Orange in turnovers, and his 90-yard fumble recovery at Clemson in October gave SU a 13-7 lead. Carter added an interception later in the game, beginning a streak of three straight games where he notched a pick. He also tied a career-high with 10 tackles in early November at Pitt.
