Master scouting report

Moore projects as a developmental tackle with length, quick feet and encouraging recovery awareness. His Miami work showed useful angles after an initial loss. One college start leaves sustained protection, run blocking and readiness on either side less established than the physical tools.

By Draftanomics · Sources & edition · Print report

01Experience and production

Moore appeared four times as a freshman and in all 14 Ohio State games in 2025, starting against Purdue. His 230 snaps that season include offense and special teams. He is listed at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds and has repeated Scholar-Athlete recognition and Academic All-Big Ten honors. The participation record is broader than the actual starting sample.

02Movement and physical foundation

Early practice work showed length, useful hand activity, quick feet and explosiveness. Strength and athletic ability support a tackle development plan. A repeatable pass set against a full starting workload remains less established than those tools.

03Recovery technique

Against Miami, Moore understood recovery angles and continued working to stay attached after losing the initial exchange. That is a useful technical response, but the first position needs to become more dependable. Repeated recovery would leave a less stable pocket than the same movement applied on time.

04Position experience

Moore started at right tackle against Purdue and replaced Austin Siereveld on the left against Miami. He entered September with a starting opportunity at left tackle. The two-sided exposure is useful, but one start and relief work do not yet establish dependable NFL swing-tackle execution.

05Technical evidence limits

Moore's limited work supports awareness and recovery potential, with consistency still unresolved across different rush styles and a full workload. Run-game leverage and sustain also need their own current evidence. The projection should remain developmental until those assignments are demonstrated repeatedly.

The case for the player

Strengths

  • Length, quick feet and useful hand work give him an athletic foundation for development.

  • Encouraging angles and recovery against Miami provide a specific technical reason to pursue the projection.

The questions that remain

Concerns

  • Limited starting experience leaves the consistency of a full offensive workload unresolved.

  • Recovery ability is valuable, but the projection improves when a more dependable first position reduces how often it is needed.

Building the fit

NFL role and scheme fit

Moore belongs in a tackle development plan that evaluates his left-side opportunity while retaining the relevance of his right-side experience. A staff should prioritize a stable set, sustained contact and repeatable communication before assuming immediate starting or swing duties. The physical tools can support an ambitious projection if the larger college role establishes the necessary consistency.

The Draftanomics view

Bottom line

Moore offers developmental tackle value through length, movement and a specific encouraging recovery sample. His left-side opportunity and earlier right-side work provide positions to evaluate, not proven versatility. More reliable initial sets, sustained contact and a fuller run-blocking record are required before projecting immediate starting or swing duties.
