Texas Tech football TE Terrance Carter Jr. out for Oregon State game
Texas Tech football tight end Terrance Carter Jr. set career highs in receptions and TDs last year. He's in an orthopedic boot at Oregon State.
Texas Tech's starting tight end Terrance Carter Jr. will be absent from Saturday's football game against Oregon State. According to KCBD, Carter was observed in an orthopedic boot but not suited up prior to the match. The kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CST at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon.
Should Carter return to the lineup, he would join seventh-year senior Jett Carpenter, freshman Matt Ludwig, and fifth-year senior Jason Llewellyn on the depth chart. Carpenter, an Oregon native, was due to be in the company of numerous family and friends.
Last season, Carter contributed significantly to Texas Tech's offense, catching 55 passes for 624 yards and scoring 5 touchdowns. He added 3 catches for 28 yards during last week's season-opening 33-10 victory over Abilene Christian. Additionally, Tech's defense is facing multiple absences, with defensive end Trey White (knee), safety Brenden Jordan, and cornerback Ashton Hampton each expected to miss this game.
Jordan is serving a second consecutive game ban due to a team rules violation. Offensive guard Elias Gillen is also not participating.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are favored by 25 1/2 points against the Oregon State Beavers.
