DT Jason Moore (Official Thread)


BETTER KNOW A BUCKEYE: JASON MOORE HAS THE SIZE, VERSATILITY, AND QUICKNESS OFF THE LINE TO DOMINATE AT ANY POSITION ALONG THE DEFENSIVE LINE​

IMMEDIATE IMPACT​

Moore won't arrive in Columbus until June, as DeMatha Catholic does not permit students to enroll early in a college program. With that, he will have less time to learn the system and develop his body prior to the start of his freshman season.

While learning from the best of the best, though, Moore can use his first year at Ohio State as a developmental season, both on the field and in the weight room. While he will immediately become the Buckeyes' tallest defensive lineman the moment he arrives at the WHAC, Moore will still need to continue to add muscle early on.

Moore won’t compete for a starting job as a true freshman with JT Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer leading the depth chart at defensive end and Mike Hall Jr., Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton leading the way at defensive tackle. With depth questions at both positions, though, Moore could get opportunities to play at one spot or the other and carry momentum into his first full offseason as a Buckeye if he can take advantage of those opportunities.

LONG-TERM IMPACT​

Whether it's being an anchor in the middle of the defensive line, a playmaker on the edge, or anything in between, Moore has all of the tools to be a dominant defensive lineman at Ohio State, something that the Buckeyes have been known to have under Johnson's lead. It's on Moore to develop his technique, pass-rushing moves and pad level early in his Ohio State career as he won’t be able to win with his physical gifts alone at the college level.

Moore could end up playing either defensive end or defensive tackle at Ohio State. If players such as Tuimoloau, Sawyer, Hall, Hamilton or Williams decide to forgo their remaining eligibility and enter the 2024 NFL Draft, he’ll have an opportunity to compete for a spot on the two-deep entering his second year as a Buckeye.

I believe he could have success either in the interior defensive line or on the edge, but to maximize his size and strengths – literally and figuratively – I see Ohio State mainly using him on the interior. With his already impressive size paired with developing his technique and adding even more muscle, Moore has the upside to be an elite defensive tackle at Ohio State.

He has put in WORK, in the weight room and the cafeteria! He looks like a unit. Saw him standing next to Kanu, and not only are they the same size, but he's also several inches taller. A 6'6 305lbs DT, with DE, it's almost like a super sized Dremont Jones
A 6’6 unit?!

My gosh, how many socks is he wearing?

JASON MOORE PROVIDES "IDEAL" SKILL SET OFF THE BENCH AT THREE-TECHNIQUE DEFENSIVE TACKLE FOR OHIO STATE​

In an offseason with an Ohio State defense receiving more hype than a new Star Wars movie, one defensive lineman was singled out by Larry Johnson for taking the biggest leap in his position room.

Fresh off his first spring in Columbus after arriving as a heralded freshman last summer, Jason Moore is locked into a defensive tackle role full-time and ensuring that his presence is known on the interior.

“He’s 6-5. He’s (305) pounds. He’s the ideal three-technique in our system,” Johnson said in March. “It’s just a matter of him having confidence and playing. Sometimes you get here, it’s bigger than you think it is. It can kind of set you back. Now, in the spring, we’re challenging him and that’s what I’m telling him. Every day is a good day for Jason Moore. ... There’s a lot of guys doing well, we really like what’s going on right now. But the guy that’s making a jump is Jason Moore.”
