Ohio State adds safety Terry Moore to bolster defense ahead of season
Summary

Ohio State football has acquired safety Terry Moore from Duke as a transfer. Moore, a fifth-year senior and former Second Team All-ACC honoree, is anticipated to fill the void left by Caleb Downs. After suffering a torn ACL in Duke’s 2024 bowl game, Moore missed the entire 2025 season. His experience and talent may enhance an Ohio State secondary that has lost key players following last year. The Buckeyes kick off their season against Texas in early September, with expectations for the defense to perform well despite recent losses.
