Training camp for Ohio State football is coming soon in Columbus, with the new freshmen adding to what many believe to be a stacked roster.

One of these new players is a wide receiver with Buckeye bloodlines in Duron Carter.

The son of legendary Buckeye and potential NFL hall of famer Cris Carter, Duron comes to Columbus as one of the fastest rising prospects of the Class of 2009 prior to National Signing Day.

Carter hails from Florida powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas where his school went undefeated on their way to the state title.

His skill set incorporates tremendous route-running with incredible hands, which makes him a weapon in the redzone.

Those tools should serve Carter well in an offense notorious for inability to score touchdowns inside the 20.

Because of this many fans feel that Carter has an opportunity to win a starting job potentially alongside super sophomore WR DeVier Posey.

One outcome that many Buckeye fans would prefer is for Carter to have a freshman season comparable to Alabama freshman sensation Julio Jones, who was the main passing threat in the Tide's resurgence in 2008.

With Terrelle Pryor expected to be the focal point of the offense, the Buckeyes will have to utilize alot of weapons to take pressure off of him.

Carter is one of many receivers that can provide Pryor with a security blanket because of his sure hands.

Ohio State does have a nice complement of receivers whose talent has not truly been showcased because of very few passes thrown in past years.

This year appears to be the time for these players to breakout into the spotlight and give the Buckeyes an uncharacteristically explosive passing attack.

A high-flying passing attack may be the best way to take pressure off of Pryor, especially if receivers like Carter can showcase reliable hands and get open under tight coverage.

With the depth that Ohio State has at receiver, it gives players like Carter the ability to showcase their skills and hopefully earn a starting job or some consistent playing time as a freshman.

Duron's rapid rise to recruiting prominence was a combination of tremendous performances his senior year and a solid performance at the Under Armour All-American Game this past winter.

If he can show that ability in Columbus, it won't be long before Pryor-to-Carter for a TD becomes a common phrase around Ohio Stadium.
