COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State will be without freshman wide receiver Duron Carter when it takes on Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

Team officials confirmed Thursday that Carter, the son of former NFL and Ohio State star Cris Carter, would not play in the game.
The statement from the athletic department did not disclose why Carter would not be available, but quarter grades came out earlier this week.
Carter was tied for fifth on the team in receptions with 13 for 176 yards and one touchdown.
ESPN.com first reported his ineligibility.
