Ohio State wide receiver Duron Carter was ruled ineligible to play in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi against No. 7 Oregon, a source tells ESPN.com.

Carter, the son of former Ohio State and NFL star Cris Carter, who is an ESPN studio and NFL analyst, ranks third on the team in receiving yards (176) and tied for fifth in receptions (13). He appeared in all 12 regular-season games as a true freshman and served as the team’s No. 4 wideout behind DeVier Posey, Dane Sanzenbacher and Ray Small.

Buckeyes head coach Jim Tressel told reporters Monday afternoon in Columbus that he expected to receive final semester grades for his players later that day. Asked if any players were in major jeopardy, Tressel said, “I assume everyone’s in major jeopardy until I see [the grades].”
