Draft Profile: Bio
Moten became a starting fixture on Miami's interior in 2025, starting fourteen games and earning All-ACC honors as a disruptive, quick-off-the-ball three-technique.He posted four sacks and steady pressure from inside at 325 pounds, an interior rush uncommon for the size, while powering the Hurricanes' run to the national championship game.
He returned for his final season in 2026 as the leader of Miami's defensive line, ranked among the country's top returning defenders and pairing with Justin Scott on an interior the staff sees as one of the nation's best.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Interior wins as a rusher despite a 325-pound frame
- Generated four sacks and twenty-seven pressures from the interior
- Closed Virginia Tech with two sacks and four run stops
- Brought down the quarterback twice again the following week at Pittsburgh
- Carries rare bulk while still firing off the ball with quickness
- Resets the line of scrimmage against single blocks on early downs
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- An unreliable tackler, dragged down by six misses on the year
- Range thins quickly once plays get outside his frame
- Impact against the run lags the pass rush despite the size
- Pad level climbs late, letting blockers steer him from his gap
Scouting Report: Summary
Moten brings 325 pounds and an interior rush that does not usually come in that package, built on quickness off the ball rather than mass, with four sacks from inside and a get-off that makes him more than a space-eater. However, he is an unreliable, lunging tackler, the run defense lags the pass rush despite the bulk, his pad level climbs late in drives, and his range thins once ball carriers get outside his frame.Overall, Moten is an inconsistent disruptor rather than a finished three-down player, but he can give a defense interior push on passing downs and the bulk for some early-down snaps. He projects as a rotational interior lineman who plays either the zero- or one-technique, with a rotation-plus floor and a three-down role if the tackling and leverage improve.
