Four-star defensive lineman puts Ohio State in top five

Ohio State received some good news in being named as a finalist for defensive lineman, Jason Moore. Moore is a four-star recruit and a top 50 player according to 247Sports composite rankings. He is also ranked as the fifth-best D-lineman in the current recruiting cycle.

The Hyattsville, Maryland native included Ohio State on his list along with his home state Maryland Terrapins, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Penn State. With good size and room to add more, recruiting analyst Brian Dohn says Moore should be a multi-year starter at the collegiate level and has potential to be a first-round pick in the NFL draft.

Moore currently has couple crystal ball predictions in favor of the Fighting Irish to earn his commitment. However, don’t count out Larry Johnson. Moore was quoted as saying:

“I have a very good relationship with coach Larry Johnson. He’s one of the best to ever do it and I can really see myself being developed by him. I also have a good relationship with Cam Spence (former Maryland DL who joined the OSU staff as a grad assistant) and love the environment out there.”

It also doesn’t hurt matter that Moore attends the same high school, DeMatha Catholic, that produced Chase Young. We’ll keep you posted as things develop with Moore’s recruitment.
