Former Ohio State guard D.J. Carton has received a waiver from the NCAA to be immediately eligible at Marquette. Carton took some time away from the OSU program to focus on his mental health, then entered the transfer portal and made the decision to transfer after the season ended, eventually landing with the Golden Eagles.
Under current NCAA transfer rules, any undergraduate must sit out a year before being eligible to play unless the player petitions the NCAA for an exception. The process can sometimes be rather lengthy, but in the case of the former high four-star recruit out of Bettendorf, Iowa, it took just a little over two months from the time he transferred to receiving the good news.
After playing most of his freshman year at Ohio State, Carton will have three years remaining at Marquette if he decides to use them all. He averaged 10.4 points, three assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game.
