Future Ohio State, Michigan football players are already feuding. Here's why
The Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry has already begun in the 2024 recruiting class.
Ian Moore, an Ohio State four-star offensive line commit, responded to a tweet asking people to compare the Buckeyes' and Wolverines' 2024 offensive lines. And to Moore, the comparison is really no contest.
"Cmon now," Moore wrote. "Hate to start beef but two of those dudes are salty that they didn't get OSU offers and the other two just didn't get them. I've been to camps with everybody on that list except Marc (Nave) (Marc's a dog though) and the Blake kid and I can tell you the Bucks are on top."

Moore clarified later he never received an offer from Michigan.

Ben Roebuck, a 2024 Michigan commit and teammate of Deontae and Devontae Armstrong at St. Edward High School in Lakewood would not let Moore's comments slide.
"Always comes down to not having that offer," Roebuck said. "Michigan's got the better offensive line and better coaches. Seems like I wasn't missing out on much... Go blue."

Moore then pulled a headline from Cleveland.com saying an Ohio State offer would be a "life highlight" for Roebuck, before Roebuck responded with Moore quoted as complimenting the Wolverines after a visit to Michigan.
Michigan 2024 offensive line commit and Avon, Ohio native Luke Hamilton chimed in with his own opinions on how Ohio State's offensive line class looks like.
Lemme sit back and grab some popcorn because this is comical😂😂. If you take rankings out the picture @marcnavejr is the best o line commit y’all got. @NateBige let’s get the “you didn’t even have an offer, they didn’t even want you” comments going https://t.co/kDFPsfNLK5
