Draft Profile: Bio
A three-star out of Freedom High in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Moore played guard and defensive end before settling on the offensive line, then became a four-year starter alongside his brother Kaden at Virginia Tech, starting 24 straight games at guard and center. He moved to center in 2024, his preferred spot, and rose to the top of the transfer market.After transferring up a level for 2025, Moore started at center, taking nearly 400 pass-blocking snaps across twelve games while allowing just one sack and seven pressures. Rated the No. 1 interior lineman in his portal cycle, the powerful, experienced pivot brought two-position flexibility and four years of starting reps to his new program. The 24 straight starts at Virginia Tech and the No. 1 portal interior ranking made him a coveted addition, a powerful pivot who can slide to guard if needed.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- SEC lineman of the week in his first start, anchoring the Clemson opener win.
- Protection marks that rank among the best of these centers.
- Twelve SEC starts after a clean transfer from thirty-plus ACC appearances.
- Snap-and-reach quickness on the front side, with the stopwatch to match.
- Widely treated as LSU's best lineman by the staff that just re-recruited him.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lighter build at 300 with run blocking that fades against true mass.
- Arkansas handled him at the point in his roughest tape.
- A foot injury cost him the regular-season finale.
- Played through an early ankle sprain that shaded the midseason film.
Scouting Report: Summary
The transfer worked from the first whistle: Moore arrived from Virginia Tech, won SEC lineman of the week in his LSU debut against Clemson, and finished with twelve starts and pass-protection tape among the best of these centers. The snap-and-reach quickness travels to any scheme, the experience file now spans thirty-plus ACC games plus a full SEC season, and the new staff's first offseason priority was re-recruiting him to stay.The physical profile sets the discount. At 300 pounds the run blocking fades against true mass, Arkansas handled him at the point in his roughest tape, and the season came with a managed ankle sprain and a foot injury that took the finale, neither serious, both worth a flag on a lighter frame doing heavyweight work. Like most movement centers, his floor is set by how rarely he is asked to win with bulk.
A second LSU season under a new offensive brain trust gives him the chance to pair the protection polish with better power numbers, and centers with his agility profile keep finding decade-long careers in wide-zone rooms. He projects as a middle-rounds pick for movement-based schemes, with the Clemson and Texas A&M tapes serving as the proof of concept any zone coordinator will want to see first.
