OSU Insider- Massive Practice Updates! New Name Making A Move Up The Depth Chart??

The Buckeye Scoop dives into the latest Ohio State football practice updates, highlighting the emergence of transfer safety Terry Moore, who has had his black stripe removed and is making a strong push for a starting role alongside Jalen McClain. The hosts emphasize Moore’s veteran experience, defensive IQ, and the significance of his full health and mental confidence after a prior injury. They also discuss the depth and development of the tight end room, with Nate Roberts expected to start as the number one tight end in 12 personnel, supported by veterans like Bennett Christian and Hunter Welsing. A major segment focuses on Ryan Day’s controversial statement that Ohio State only attracts first- or second-round NFL draft picks, which the hosts defend as a strategic marketing move that reflects the program’s elite player development track record. They argue that Ohio State’s consistent production of top-tier NFL talent—citing Arvel Reese, Caleb Downs, Sonny Stiles, and Carnell Tate—validates the claim and positions the program as a premier destination for elite athlete development in the NIL era. The episode closes with reflections on the emotional weight of players leaving for the NFL and the importance of mental health support under Ryan Day.
