Availability Report: All Starters Available For Opener, Defensive Tackle Jason Moore Listed As Out

Ohio State will be going into it matchup against No. 1 Texas with all of its starters ready to go, but defensive tackle depth piece Jason Moore will be out for the game.

Moore had been seen at media availabilities leaving practice with a medical boot on, so it comes as no surprise that he won’t be ready to go yet. It could be a blow to the No. 3 Buckeyes defensive tackle depth, one of the biggest areas that OSU had questions at over the offseason.

Tywone Malone and true freshman Jarquez Carter have stepped up in fall camp and could earn reps behind Eddrick Houston at the three-tech position with Moore out.

Also listed as out for the game are cornerback Brenten “Inky” Jones, tight end Max LeBlanc, quarterback Mason Maggs, running back Anthony Rogers, defensive tackle Maxwell Roy, safety Deshawn Stewart, defensive lineman Ahmed Tounkara and wide receiver Preston Wolfe.
