Oregon quarterback Dante Moore has a decision to make: the NFL draft or another season with the Ducks. In the aftermath of a 56-22 loss to No. 1 Indiana in the College Football Playoff semifinals, Moore said he’s not ready to make the call. Moore had three crucial turnovers in the first half of the Peach Bowl, including a pick-6 on the first play of the game. All three turnovers led to touchdowns that gave the Hoosiers a commanding 35-7 lead at halftime. Moore said he will meet with coach Dan Lanning and his family before deciding his future.

Safety Caleb Downs is the latest Ohio State standout to declare for the NFL draft. Downs announced his decision Wednesday during the “Downs 2 Business” podcast with brother Josh Downs, a wide receiver with the Indianapolis Colts. Caleb Downs is projected as a top-10 pick and one of the first defensive players who could be selected in April's draft. He won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back and the Lott IMPACT Trophy as college football's top safety this season. Downs finishes ninth in Heisman Trophy voting and was third on the Buckeyes with 68 tackles and also had two interceptions this season.

Ohio State standout wide receiver Carnell Tate announces he is leaving school early to declare for the NFL draft. Tate made the announcement on social media. The junior had 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns this season. He became a deep threat in the Buckeyes' passing attack. Tate, an AP second-team All-American, had nine receptions of at least 40 yards. Ohio State's offense will have changes after finishing 12-2 and losing to Miami in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal. Coach Ryan Day announced last week he hired Cortez Hankton as receivers coach.
