I still don't think he has quite the athleticism to be a LEO, but it will be interesting to see what he ends up looking like once he can dedicate offseasons to weightlifting. He does have a great motor and a wonderful ability to get off blocks (one of the best I've seen in some time), so he should be a benefit against opposing running attacks, if nothing else.

Took the words out of my keyboard, glad I read this first :biggrin: He is a little light in the boots but he has a great frame for a WDE. Once he adds some muscles, he is going to be so difficult to block, as he already sheds the blocks so well. He scrapes down the line towards the ball carrier and is a good tackler. I think he could be an every down end that can rush the passer or play the run, but his strength is definitely in the run defense. Lightyears of improvement imo...really excited to see what J.T. can do here.

Another guy who's getting no attention at all, but have made a vast improvement in his game. This was a guy that everyone thought was a tad slow, and now he's gotten to the point where coaches are comparing him to Thad. Again, very underrated.

Really doesn't have that wow factor most Ohio State recruits do but seems like one of those guys who will overachieve a la Zach Boren. I like Durham better as a LEO fwiw.

Funny that you brought up Zach Boren. I thought Malcolm Jenkins, Brian Robiskie and James Laurinatis exemplify the OSU recruits that manage to overachieve despite a perceived lack of glamor in their game.

Sorry my comparison wasn't good enough for you. :roll2: I'll stick with my Boren comparison though considering I didn't see a tOSU-caliber athlete in his highlights either and he went on to have a great freshman year. My point is just because I don't see it now doesn't mean he won't be successful.

ON J.T. MOORE?

It was hard to see exactly what was going on in the trenches from up in the press box, but Moore did make a big play on the drive where Bryant broke up the pass in the end zone. Two plays before the breakup, Moore sacked quarterback Patrick Angle for a five-yard loss that ultimately led to a 27-yard field goal for the South squad. Pryor to that, Moore had not done anything noteworthy, either positive or negative.

Moore one of many elite players at Big 33 Football Classic
By DANA SULONEN Tribune Chronicle
POSTED: June 17, 2010

Recent Boardman graduate and Ohio State recruit J.T. Moore is no stranger to senior all-star games. When you're The Ohio State University's first verbal commitment of the 2010 signing class and a three-star prospect by Scouts.com, it's almost guaranteed you will be asked to play in the two most prestigious games an Ohio football player can be asked to play in - The North-South Classic and the Big 33 Classic.

Moore, and fellow Boardman alum Chase Hammond, participated in the North-South game back in April and will play in Saturday's Big 33 Classic in Hershey, Pa. But Moore's experience with both games has been night and day.

"It's been a really good week," Moore said. "We've been getting used to the two-a-days of course, but we can't wait. The coaches and the players, we're ready."

The defensive end says the whole atmosphere is different than the North-South game, but he also says he feels there is more on the line in Hershey.

"We are taking it very serious, the practices have been very serious. But we're ready," Moore said.

Moore is a part of a very deep 34-man roster for the Ohio team. The first-team All-Ohio defensive end is joined by four other Ohio State recruits and six others heading to a Big Ten school. Out of the 34 players representing the Buckeye State, 32 of the players are going to a Division I school.

Moore's statistics stack up with the best of them. During his senior season, he had 110 tackles, 94 solo, seven sacks and nine for loss. While those stats got him to Ohio State, he's using the Big 33 week to bond with his soon-to-be Buckeye teammates.

"Ya, I've got to know the guys real well this week," Moore said. "(Darryl) Baldwin (of Solon) and I ... I've known from past years playing basketball and I met Christian Bryant (Glenville) at the North-South game. I've got to be real cool with all these guys."

While Moore has made new friends with his Ohio teammates, the week is about one thing - getting a win for the Buckeye State.

"This is more of a pride thing," Moore said. "We are representing the whole state of Ohio here and Pennsylvania is representing their whole state. This is a huge deal."

J.T. Moore, DL Boardman (Ohio State)

10-06-19-B33-0038.jpg


Moore started off the game by intercepting the first pass of the night off a tip at the line of scrimmage. He showed great awareness by recognizing a quick pass and dropping back from his rush end position, which allowed him to be in place for the interception.

?Roosevelt Nix made a play,? he explained. ?He tipped the ball and it came right into my hands, and I just took off with it right there.?

And did he see the endzone ahead of him?

?Yeah, I saw it! That was the first time I saw the endzone, and I got excited and my eyes got big. But then the quarterback cheapshotted me in the leg.?

Moore may not display the overall speed that you might be accustomed to for an Ohio State edge rusher, but he shows tremendous speed down the line and is a quick study of what the offense is doing. He's pretty good in run support because he keeps moving towards the ball and refuses to be blocked at this level. He also recovered a blocked kick in the middle of a scrum, which tells you how comfortable he is amid the masses.

Like Darryl Baldwin, the other place he found comfort was with his host family.

?The host families, they're just fantastic,? he said. ?Showing the hospitality, coming out with open arms and just taking us in as one of theirs.?

Asked if he was allowed back, he answered quickly that he was, but then just as quickly asked his host mom if he is allowed back, to which she answered, ?Always?.

Defensive end J.T. Moore: Though Cameron Heyward isn't an easy guy to replace, starting defensive end Nathan Williams said this defensive line should have more speed than the line a year ago. He used redshirt freshman Moore as an example of that, and Moore had one sack and assisted on another tackle for loss Saturday. He could be Williams' primary backup in the rotation at the Leo defensive end spot.
