Lions to waive WR Denzel Mims and sign WR Jason Moore

Lions to waive WR Denzel Mims and sign former Chargers WR Jason Moore

Denzel Mims, we hardly knew ye…

The Lions are waiving Mims a day after Detroit head coach Dan Campbell hinted that a move was in order with the injured wideout. Mims had not practiced since leaving the field on August 5th with an ankle injury.

Acquired via trade with the New York Jets earlier this summer, Mims never suited up for the Lions beyond a handful of early training camp practices. The former Jets second-rounder is still dealing with the ankle injury.

Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports that the Lions already have the Mims replacement ready to roll. Per Wilson, the team is signing former Chargers wideout Jason Moore. The 28-year-old Moore has spent most of the last four seasons on the Chargers practice squad. He played collegiately at D-II Findlay.

Top five true freshman defensive tackles in the Big Ten for 2023

Top five true freshman defensive tackles in the Big Ten for 2023 #GoBucks

It is always fun to look at recruiting rankings. The recruiting landscape receives more coverage every year because recruiting is a very important aspect of building a program. Still, it is important to remember these players and prospects are not defined by these rankings.

I was diving into the most recent class and trying to figure out which future Buckeye is going to shine brightest and fastest but noticed the Big Ten as a whole was pretty interesting recruiting-wise this cycle. We already dived into the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive tackles, interior offensive linemen and edge rushers. Now, we dive into the top defensive tackles.

Ohio State football class of 2023 scouting report: Jason Moore

Ohio State football class of 2023 scouting report: Jason Moore #GoBucks

The Ohio State football recruiting class of 2023 is complete and despite some murmurs of negativity in the crowd, this class is fantastic from top to bottom. One of the studs of this class is a four-star defensive lineman out of Maryland, Jason Moore.

Brown is widely viewed as a top 75 prospect in the class of 2023 and a top ten defensive lineman in the class. The defensive line has been a strength for the Buckeyes and the depth chart looks to be extremely deep, but Moore maybe a special case of someone who can play immediately. Let’s dive in.

Name: Jason Moore

High School: DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, MD)

Height: 6-feet, 6-inches

Weight: 280 pounds

4-Star Defensive Lineman

Current Ohio State defensive ends and their 247Sports rankings

Current Ohio State defensive ends ranked by the 247Sports composite #GoBucks

The Ohio State football team has seven defensive ends on scholarship and all were relatively high recruits based on their 247Sports recruiting rating. Going through the list of edge rushers on the Buckeye roster will blow your mind at how high they were ranked recruiting-wise, which makes me think two things. One is how bright the future is and the other is wondering why the pass rush was so lackluster last season.

Despite all the negativity surrounding the defense last season as it looked even more inept against Michigan, this defensive line is filled with a ton of talent and that is especially true when looking at the edge rushers. There are obvious names like J.T. Tuimoloau who had flashes of brilliance, as evidenced against Penn State, but just like the defense as a whole, Tuimoloau needs to be more consistent. The next stud in line is Jack Sawyer who has had even fewer flashes but has been moved around from position to position and maybe will play at a different level in 2023.

Here are all of the recruiting rankings of the current Ohio State defensive ends on the roster for 2023.

Where each Ohio State signee landed on ESPN’s final 2023 recruiting rank update

What do you think about these rankings? #GoBucks

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that certainly is the case with [autotag]ESPN[/autotag] and the 2023 [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] football recruiting class.

There are certain attributes that prospect evaluators like over others, and that is why you often see significant disparities between the major recruiting services. One might like a prospect much more than the other but it still gives you a good idea of how much potential the player has.

Now that the high school season is over and the all-star games have been played, ESPN made the final update to its class of 2023 rankings. Find out below where each Buckeye signee was ranked in the top 300 and a quick takeaway of the rankings.

Three Ohio State signees named Gatorade State Football Winners

Three incoming freshmen will now have a chance to be named the Gatorade National Player of the Year. #GoBucks

The Ohio State football team had quite an excellent early signing period. Even though the Buckeyes missed out on a few key prospects, Ryan Day was still able to sign a consensus top-ten class. Among that class is a pretty strong contingency, at least according to the fine people at Gatorade.

Gatorade has been awarding the Gatorade State Player of the Year award since 1985. Gatorade states that the award was created to “recognize the nation’s most outstanding high school student-athletes for their athletic excellence, academic achievement, and exemplary charter.” Past winners have included the likes of Julian Fleming, Kyle McCord, Gabe Powers, and Joe Burrow among others.

This year, Ohio State had three players who signed in December win the state-level award and are now eligible to be recognized as the Gatorade National Football Player of the Year.

Let’s take a look at this year’s winners who have signed with the Buckeyes and give them a hand for such an outstanding achievement.

Chargers make roster moves on Wednesday

The Chargers announced that defensive lineman Joe Gaziano was placed on the IR.

The Chargers announced Wednesday that defensive lineman Joe Gaziano was placed on the injured reserve. In correspondence, Los Angeles signed DL Christopher Hinton to the active roster.

Additionally, L.A. signed wide receiver Jason Moore and DL Aaron Crawford to the practice squad.

Gaziano suffered a groin injury in the victory over the Titans. In five games, he logged eight tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack.

Hinton has appeared in one game this season in Week 14 against the Dolphins. He was inactive last weekend after being promoted from the practice squad.

Moore caught one of his two targets for five yards through six games this season with the Chargers.

Crawford started his career with the Ravens as an undrafted rookie out of North Carolina in 2020. He appeared in one game that season. Crawford spent time on the Giants’ practice squad before being waived.

Chargers activate TE Donald Parham from injured reserve

The Chargers are getting some help back on offense.

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”3vssd2iPPe-2423256-7498″]

The Chargers are getting some help back on offense.

Tight end Donald Parham was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday. In correspondence, the team waived wide receiver Jason Moore Jr.

In addition, Los Angeles elevated defensive lineman Christopher Hinton and safety Raheem Layne from the practice squad.

Parham went on injured reserve on Nov. 5 with a hamstring injury, the same issue that forced him to miss most of training camp and the first four games to start the season.

Parham has played only two games this season, making three catches for 53 yards. He finished the 2021 season with 20 receptions on 27 targets for 190 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games.

Where each 2023 Ohio State football recruit landed on 247Sports updated rankings

It’s no surprise that this class is ranked as one of the best in the country. #GoBucks

When you assemble one of the top-rated recruiting classes in the country, you are bound to have plenty of players who are among the highest-rated in the nation. That is exactly the case for Ryan Day and his Ohio State Buckeyes football program.

The evidence is here, as 247Sports has updated their Top 247 recruits and it is littered with Buckeye commitments. In total there were twelve future OSU stars that made the list with room to add a few more before the early signing period and the traditional signing day in February. Find out below where each of those 12 verbal commits landed in the updated rankings.

(Note: This list has now been updated from 12 to 13 players with the verbal commitment from quarterback [autotag]Lincoln Kienholz[/autotag] on Wednesday, December 14th.)

Ohio State a finalist for 2023 5-star California defensive end

The Buckeyes could score a huge recruiting win in Cali! #GoBucks

If you follow recruiting, which I know most of you do, it should come as no surprise to see this news. Five-star California defensive end [autotag]Matayo Uiagalelei[/autotag], DJ’s younger brother, has [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] in his top 3 along with [autotag]USC[/autotag] and [autotag]Oregon[/autotag].

Ohio State has been looking hard to fill a few spots on the defensive line, even though they already have [autotag]Jason Moore[/autotag] and [autotag]Will Smith[/autotag] already committed. In a report by 247Sports Greg Biggins, Uiagalelei states that he is going to be making his decision on signing day and he “still don’t know where I’m going.” Buckeye defensive line coach [autotag]Larry Johnson[/autotag] will be out to see the star end playing in his state championship game this weekend also.

If [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] were to get a verbal commitment from Uiagalelei it would be a huge recruiting win as they need some depth at the position. We will know soon where the big Californian is headed.
