2023 Ohio State Wide Receiver Target Carnell Tate Sets Commitment Date

The highly coveted wideout was in Columbus for a pair of one-day camp visits in June.

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star wide receiver Carnell Tate announced on Tuesday afternoon that he will make his college decision on Oct. 8.

The 6-foot-2 and 185-pound Tate, who is considered the 10th-best wide receiver and No. 58 prospect overall in the class of 2023, will choose among a top 10 of Florida State, Illinois, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas.

The Chicago native landed an offer from the Buckeyes in April and made his way to Columbus for a pair of one-day camps in June. He was accompanied on the first trip by his father and the second by his mother, grandmother and uncle, showing just how sincere his interest in the program is.

Tate also took three trips to South Bend in June, which is why the Fighting Irish are widely viewed as the biggest threat in his recruitment. Another visit to either school for a game day this fall could ultimately seal his commitment.

That said, Ohio State is still searching for its first pledge in the class of 2023. It's unclear how many wideouts that head coach Ryan Day and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline plan to take, but Tate is among the staff’s top options alongside Las Vegas Bishop Gorman four-star Zachariah Branch and Del Valle, Texas, four-star Braylon James.
