Carton was one of the biggest named recruits in Iowa for the class of 2019. He played 20 games in his freshman season before leaving the team mid-season to deal with mental-health. In that span, he averaged more than ten points and three assists per game. 

He will be a name to watch as he now opens his recruitment back up. He was ranked #35 on ESPN's Top 100 last year. The Iowa Hawkeyes were in his final six schools before he chose the Buckeyes.
