With his impressive length, size, and athleticism, he is ranked first in his position. Moseley's versatility allows him to play in the 1-5 Tech range due to his power and quickness. He demonstrates good explosion off the line of scrimmage, utilizing good footwork, hand placement, and pad level to create leverage and drive the offensive lineman back into the backfield. As a result, he can generate pressure on the quarterback or make a play against the run. Moseley is a high-motor prospect who plays with a relentless effort, chasing down ball carriers from sideline to sideline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 79" Wingspan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bennettmoseleyy/status/1826837100819370226","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bennettmoseleyy/status/1826837100819370226 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1198671"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c96f2041dfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1198671' first='Braceson' last='Mitchell'] ranks second on our board.

Mitchell demonstrates the ability to make consistent plays in the backfield. He displays good footwork, hand placement, and pad level to establish leverage and drive the offensive lineman backward, creating pressure in the pocket or making plays at the line of scrimmage. Mitchell is a prospect worth monitoring in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.8 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BracesonM55/status/1826736383165431865","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BracesonM55/status/1826736383165431865 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1192047"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c96f2041e42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1192047' first='Drake' last='Woodard'] is a defensive lineman for the 2028 class that ranks third on our board.
