S Terry Moore (Official Thread)

Why Ohio State is betting on a bounce back​

The biggest question surrounding Moore entering 2026 is not talent, it is health.

After suffering a torn ACL during Duke’s bowl game following the 2024 season, Moore missed all of 2025 while rehabbing. That lost season naturally creates uncertainty, especially for a player whose game relies on explosiveness and movement skills.

But all indications throughout spring practice suggested Moore was progressing well. He shed his black stripe early in camp and participated throughout the spring as he continued regaining confidence and rhythm.

If he is fully healthy by the time Ohio State opens the season, the Buckeyes may have landed one of the biggest transfer steals in the country. This is a player who was generating legitimate NFL attention prior to his injury. A player who was viewed as one of the top safeties in the ACC. A player whose combination of instincts, physicality, and versatility fit perfectly within modern defensive football.

Ohio State’s defense already appears loaded with talent across every level and position. The defensive line has multiple former blue-chip recruits and transfers. The linebacker room has more answers than it did entering spring. The cornerback group could be one of the nation’s best.

But championship defenses often come down to one thing: trust.

The ability to trust every player on the field to be in the right position at the right time. That is exactly what Terry Moore has the potential to provide. If he returns to the level he displayed in 2024, Ohio State may not simply have added another starter.

They may have added the final piece to an elite secondary.

NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

FBS Oversight Committee Proposes Modifications to Practice Calendar, Transfer Portal

162847_h.jpg


College football’s offseason calendar, preseason structure and transfer portal window could all be in line for changes beginning with the 2027 season, as the Division I Football Oversight Committee continues to advance a series of proposed reforms.

The committee’s latest proposal would significantly reshape how programs manage practice opportunities throughout the year, replacing the traditional spring model with two separate out-of-season practice periods totaling 21 practices. Neither segment could exceed five weeks.

The shift reflects the continued rise of NFL-style organized team activities (OTAs), which have gained support across college football in recent years. Programs are currently permitted 15 spring practices under the existing format.

Preseason preparation would also be shortened under the proposal, with the current 25-day allowance reduced to 21 days. Those practices could be conducted over a 27-day window. An NCAA release noted the adjustment accounts for expanded spring and summer opportunities, stating, “The committee noted that additional practice opportunities would be available during the spring and summer under the new out-of-season activities model, which warranted a four-day reduction.”

Alongside the practice changes, the committee recommended in April shifting the traditional start of the season up one week, to what is currently known as Week 0, ahead of Labor Day weekend.

Roster movement would also be affected under the proposal, as the transfer portal window would be reduced from 15 days to 10. The portal would open on the first business day following Jan. 1 each year. This past cycle’s window ran from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16 after the spring portal period was eliminated.

Beyond practice and roster changes, the committee also continues to explore adjustments to the off-campus recruiting model. That concept would increase the number of staff members permitted to recruit off campus to 17 (including the head coach) and establish a yearly allotment of recruiting days for programs. A formal proposal could be introduced later this summer, with implementation also targeted for 2027.

Ohio State's top-ranked offense is powered by a star-studded roster headlined by Jeremiah Smith, the game's lone 99 overall player. Early leaks for CFB 27 also had quarterback Julian Sayin rated 94 overall, while offensive guard Luke Montgomery (92) and offensive tackle Austin Siereveld (90) are among the Buckeyes' other highest-rated players.

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

Merely a clarifying question if you please. In my experience, tennis (among other sports), has a 'ladder' system. Players play each other, etc, and a ladder is established, 1 through 6. To move up, one has to beat someone higher on said ladder. If the lower player wins, they replace that player, and the former place holder, goes down one, or goes to the place the challenger was. Seems to be the case in wrestling, swimming, orchestra, ?. thanks for clearing away the fog.

Former Ohio State offensive lineman Bob Maggs has died at the age of 61.
A two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection as the Buckeyes’ starting center in 1985 and 1986, Maggs died unexpectedly last Thursday, according to his obituary.
Maggs is the father of Mason Maggs, a current walk-on quarterback for the Buckeyes.
A Parade All-American from Youngstown’s Cardinal Mooney High School, Maggs helped lead the Buckeyes to a 9-3 season in 1985 and a 10-3 season in 1986.

After his football career, Maggs worked in sales for Mueller Roofing Distributors. Per his obituary, Maggs was known by his loved ones as the “Gentle Giant” – for his kind heart, his warm, happy smile, and his fierce love for his family.
Maggs’ death is one of two tragic losses for the Ohio State football program over the past week as another great Buckeye center, Nick Mangold, died Saturday at 41 years old due to complications from kidney disease.

RIP Bob Maggs. A great player and an even better person! Thank for sharing it!

2028 KS OL Reece Wilmes (Verbal Offer)

My brain may be foggy, but cannot recollect that tOSU has had any player from Kansas on its football team.
A bit out of date (ten years, to be exact), but as of 2016 there were at least two.
Kansas: By my count, the State of Kansas has sent only two players to Columbus - junior college transfer Jamie Sumner, who started at guard for a couple of years, and little-used lineman Mark Bean. Sumner gets the nod.
