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

The Buckeye Scoop dives into major Ohio State football practice updates ahead of the spring game, spotlighting the emergence of transfer safety Terry Moore from Duke. After a significant injury and a quiet start, Moore has regained full health, earned his black stripe removal, and is now making a strong move toward a starting role alongside Jalen McClain, with Earl Little likely to fill the nickel position. The hosts praise the depth and veteran leadership now present on the defense, highlighting the strategic success of Ohio State’s transfer portal acquisitions. They also discuss the tight end room, with Nate Roberts projected as the clear starter in 12 personnel, while newcomers like Hunter Welsing and Mason Williams add depth. A major segment focuses on Ryan Day’s recent comments about Ohio State’s expectation that players become first- or second-round NFL draft picks, which the hosts frame as a brilliant marketing and developmental strategy. They argue that Ohio State’s proven track record—evidenced by the potential for four top-10 NFL draft picks in 2026—validates their elite athlete development model, countering critics who claim the program only recruits talent. The episode closes with lighthearted banter about carrot cake, Super Chats, and the upcoming NFL Draft on April 23rd.
