Ahead of another loaded weekend of college and NFL games, take a look at where some of the biggest names in the sport were ranked as high school recruits and whether or not their ranking was a Hit or a Miss.

Carter arrived at Penn State and made an immediate impact. The former Rivals250 prospect posted eight sacks as a freshman, four as a sophomore and already has four this season. Carter’s tackle numbers have dipped a bit but he’s still considered a likely first-round selection in the upcoming NFL Draft.
As a high school prospect, Carter wasn’t very open about his recruitment. South Carolina and Ole Miss hosted him for visits and he was interested in Ohio State but the Buckeyes didn’t offer. Something they’re surely regretting, as we are with his respectable but still too low ranking.
Verdict: Miss
This week: Penn State at Wisconsin; Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET; NBC/Peacock
