Draft Profile: Bio
Moore started for three seasons at Virginia Tech before transferring to LSU, where he took over at center in 2025 and started every regular-season game, missing the bowl with a foot injury.He chose to return to LSU for 2026 rather than enter the draft, and comes back as one of the more experienced and respected centers in the country and a leader up front.
At 6-3 and 300 pounds he is a slightly undersized but tough, athletic pivot whose experience and technique are his selling points.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Experienced multi-year, multi-program starter at center
- Steady, reliable pass protector who rarely gives ground inside
- Pure-center technician who sets protections and leads the line
- Reaches and cuts off defenders as a zone-scheme fit
- Respected leader who returned rather than declare
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Below-ideal size and length for the position
- Lacks the mass to project outside of center to guard
- Run-blocking drive is average and can stall against nose-tackle power
- Coming off a 2025 foot injury worth monitoring
Scouting Report: Summary
Moore is an experienced, athletic center and line leader who started every regular-season game for LSU in 2025 and returned for 2026 as one of the better pivots in the country. However, he is below ideal size and length, lacks the mass to kick out to guard, and can be tested anchoring against elite interior power.Overall, Moore is a tough, technical center whose experience and movement are bankable, with size the limiter that makes him a center-only projection. He projects as a starting-caliber center, with the ceiling of a multi-year NFL starter if he anchors against pro power and the floor of an interior backup and spot starter.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
