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.

Nagy is my sleeper for this class, I really like him and I am hoping he gets an offer from Ohio State.

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.

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 |

WW,
Thanks for the first hand assessment. I hope Bollman gets this game film soon. Further bolsters my suspicions that Nagy is the best OL left on the board from Ohio, Aaron Brown included. JMO.
Go Bucks!
