He was born and raised in Connecticut. But he lived in Cleveland for many years and the name is uncommon enough that I wondered. There are countless examples of professional athletes putting down roots where they played for years and years. Just wondered.

I recall this question came up last year. The answer is no relation. The names Nagy and Toth are the equivalent of Smith and Jones among people of Hungarian ancestry.
For what ever reason the greater Cleveland area ended up with a ton of Hungarian immigrants in the early 20th century.

I went to high school in Akron with a Nagy and it is a pretty common name. I recall his name being pronounced differently than Charles Nagy.

I'll be honest with you folks, I don't follow the recruiting aspect as most do here, and am only here tonite because of something I saw about 4 hours ago.

Before today, I've never heard the name Bill Nagy. Like I said, I don't follow that closely. But tonite, I took my son to the old Alma-mater (Painesville Riverside) to watch them play Hudson. #76 for Hudson immediately jumps out at you. He is the "Man amongst Boys" squared. This kid is an absolute monster. Granted, RHS and its 205-230 pound trench players is not gonna be the true test of an opposing talent, there just seems to be something very special about this kid. It's why I hit this forum, because after watching him play I was certain his name would be on here, and BINGO!

What really surprised me is that he alternates between guard positions. He'll line up at LG for a play or two, then switch over to RG. I saw him referred to here as a Tackle but never saw him play a down at tackle, was an "alternating" guard all the way. For this level of play, he is probably too good. His first step is amazingly fast. There were many plays when he'd get downfield so fast that his RB couldn't keep up and got tackled 8 yards behind him while he was looking for someone to block. Didn't notice his DT play as much, probably because their offense was on the field pretty much the whole night. (We left at the end of the 3rd quarter and Hudson was up 35-7). He did have a couple impressive QB tackles when the kid was trying to get outside. It was obvious that he was as fast as many of his 170 lb. opponents.

In a nutshell, I came away thoroughly impressed. This kid could have done some serious damage to our team if he wanted to. He just does his assignment, and goes back to the huddle. He plays with great confidence yet I saw no cockiness. From all I've read here, he is a great kid and a great student. Granted, I'll never get a chance to see all the Buckeye "wish list" players play this year, and I'm not a talent evaluator, but based on what I saw tonite, I'd offer this kid in a heartbeat.

Great update Woody. I think many of us here are pulling for Nagy to get an offer. Hopefully it will come soon.

Well then, how did Bill look last night. Anyone?

He deserves an offer in my opinion...surprised that it's taken this long.

Go Bucks!

I was sort of praying someone else would respond to your question. Talk about God answering prayers, Woody gets a fat greenie from me. If I had posted what I thought of Nagy from week, people would have thought (see page 1 of this thread), I must be a relative.

I'm old enough to remember the 1968 team. I can't recall ever seeing a team block down field better than than that team. Nagy is a throw back to that era on every play.

Nagy will not stand out like a sore thumb on D because he plays his position. He doesn't run himself out of plays trying to be the only hero.
Last week against Glen Oak (who will make the playoffs) Nagy moved to DE
to shut down plays that had worked, and looked great

Ouch! Those pics bring back some rough memories from the other night. As you can see in the shots, Nagy is lined up at both RG and LG. I do really believe after seeing him that the kid is "big-time" and would hate to see him slip through our hands and come back to haunt us. I read that he dropped some weight this year. But if you look at his body he has very little fat for a kid his size. Also, in person you can see he has a rather wide "posterior" which would lead me to believe that a few extra pounds wouldn't hurt him too much.

Best of luck on the rest of your season Bill, would love to have you in C'Bus next year.

JACKSON - Hudson's defense stole the show Friday night, and the Explorers' offense made enough big plays to dominate Jackson 17-0 at Robert Fife Stadium.

The Explorers more than doubled Jackson in total yards (315-157), and their defense was just too physical up front.

Hudson's offense made the first big play of the game. Senior running back Steve Faul took the handoff up the middle, cut left off an impressive downfield block by senior guard Bill Nagy, then slashed back to the right, eventually racing 78 yards to give Hudson a first down at the Jackson 5-yard line.

``That was just a wedge up the middle,'' said Faul, who rushed for 147 yards. ``Everyone just kept driving until there was a hole. Nagy's amazing to have on our team. It was a bummer I couldn't finish it, but it was a giant boost of momentum for us.''

Junior fullback Matt Hooper bulled into the end zone on the next play to give Hudson (3-0) a 7-0 lead. The Explorers doubled their lead in the second quarter on third-and-goal from the 9, when sophomore backup quarterback Alex Gedeon hit senior running back Rico Barrera in the flat for the score to cap a 55-yard drive. The key play of the drive was a 38-yard completion from Gedeon to senior tight end Tim Eagan.

Hudson's defense took over at that point. Senior defensive back Pete Sankey picked off Jackson junior quarterback Brett Stefan's pass on the ensuing drive and returned it to the 10-yard line. Jackson's defense stiffened, forcing a 22-yard field goal by freshman kicker Ross Coberly to give Hudson a 17-point halftime advantage.

Hudson's defense owned the second half, too, as Jackson managed just one serious scoring threat. On second-and-8 from the Hudson 10 midway through the fourth quarter, junior quarterback/defensive back Sean Fertick picked off a pass in the end zone to seal it.

Jackson (2-1) had little success on the ground, as the Hudson defense dominated up front. Junior defensive end Kyle Sonagere was simply unblockable, racking up three sacks and stuffing the run all game with linebacker Jeff Gough and defensive tackle Joey Berdine.

``We knew what we had to do,'' Sonagere said. ``We had to play our best game of the year, we had to stop their counter-gap, and we had to be more physical. I knew I had to do my job and hit their quarterback as hard as I could.''

Aside from Faul's big run, Jackson's defense played well enough to keep the Polar Bears in it. Senior linebackers James Craven and Lambert Budzinski repeatedly wreaked havoc in Hudson's backfield, but it wasn't enough for the Polar Bears.
