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

The Buckeye Scoop dives into major Ohio State football updates ahead of the spring game, spotlighting the emergence of transfer safety Terry Moore from Duke, who has had his black stripe removed and is now making a strong push for a starting role alongside Jalen McClain. The hosts praise Moore’s veteran experience, football IQ, and resilience after injury, calling him the final piece in Ohio State’s successful transfer portal strategy. They highlight the depth and development across the defensive secondary, with Earl Little at nickel and the potential for a dominant veteran-heavy backfield. The discussion shifts to the tight end room, where Nate Roberts is expected to start, with strong depth from veterans like Bennett Christian, Hunter Welsing, and Mason Williams. A major segment focuses on Ryan Day’s recent comments about Ohio State producing first- or second-round NFL draft picks, which the hosts defend as a strategic marketing move backed by undeniable results—Ohio State poised to have four top-10 picks in the 2026 draft. They argue this reflects the program’s elite development system, citing players like Arvel Reese, Sonny Stiles, and Caleb Downs as proof. The hosts also reflect on the emotional weight of players leaving for the NFL and the program’s culture of mental health support, citing Ryan Day’s impact on players like Harry Miller and G Scott. The episode closes with lighthearted banter about carrot cake, film study with youth teams, and a humorous response to a '0% NFL ready' comment.
