Today, I dive into the file of 2023 Ohio State recruit, Jason Moore. He was a four-star recruit coming out of high school in 2023. He finished as a Top 100 player in the 247 Sports rankings, and the No. 2 player in the state of Maryland. He didn't play his Freshman year--my analysis will be based off his high school tape--but I'm sure he's looking to change that moving forward.
Position: Defensive End
HT: 6-6 WT: 305
College: Ohio State
Class: Sophomore
Credentials:
Top 100 player in 247 Sports rankings
Rated 6th best defensive lineman (2023)
Ranked 2nd best player in Maryland (2023)
Strengths:
-Specializes in bull rushing
-Disruptive against the run
-Elite, non-stop motor
-Relentless effort, won't give up on plays
-Can line up on the inside or as an edge rusher
Weaknesses:
-Doesn't have an array of pass rush moves
-Needs to work on basic techniques
-Hand usage was adequate at times
-Sometimes struggles to shed blocks when the lineman gets in his pads
Final Analysis:
There were plays where he pushed the lineman back into the quarterback or running back. A non-stop motor and relentless effort, he won't give up on plays. Hustled to make tackles after the running backs reached the second level. Has the versatility to line up on the inside or as an edge rusher.
Needs to work on basic techniques and adding more pass rush moves. Hand usage was adequate at times, and he sometimes struggles to shed blocks when the lineman gets in his pads.
A very good player with a high ceiling. His lengthy frame reminds me of Julius Peppers. He can line up as a 4-3 end or as an edge rusher in the 3-4, but is better suited as an end. Doesn't have enough burst to consistently rush off the edge. Can be dominant with the right coaching.
