“Carnell's gonna be special, man. I think Carnell's probably at a better point right now than I was going into my sophomore year,” Harrison said last week. “He's amazing. He handles his business. He's always in the right spot, catches the ball and runs great routes. So I'm excited to really see what his career looks like. I think he'll be one of the best receivers to ever come through Ohio State.”
“To go through what he's been through this month, and then just to continue to show up every day and play the way he's playing, you're talking about someone who not only has talent but has maturity at a high level,” Day said. “I've been very impressed with Carnell.”
“As a football player, he is very mature. And when you give that mature tag to a football player, it says a lot,” Hartline said. “It’s hard to put into words, and I can try. But his ability to take meetings to the field, his ability to correct mistakes in one try, his ability to hold himself accountable to mistakes, for me to ask him questions about why he did something and for him to give me the answers back, shows a lot of intentional work, which is very, very important. And that's usually an older guy kind of thing. Just really proud of him.
“And he's had a lot of adversity, and that's well-documented, and to build relationships with these young men since they were sophomores, and to see all the things they've gone through and done, you can't put it into words and I’m trying. But very proud of him.”
