Instincts: He is an instinctive defensive lineman, who times his get off effectively, moves well up the field, and utilizes length and athleticism to disrupt all phases of the game.

Polish: Well-rounded defensive tackle with room to grow in frame. Leverages well for his size in close-quarters and should only improve as his frame fills out. His upfield pursuit is the best aspect of his game.

Bottom Line: Moss is a high ceiling prospect with room to grow in his frame, and he could continue to increase attention of more Power 5 coaches this season, as he is explosive with his first step and violent through the point of attack. If his frame fills out, he will be a multi-year starter at the Power 5 level.
