Moss will be choosing between UT, Kentucky, LSU, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Oregon when he makes his decision. He is coming off his string of official visits, including a trip to see Tennessee on May 22. His primary recruiter with the Vols is offensive line coach Glen Elarbee.
“Burly tackle with a wide base that excels as a down blocker with his force,” 247 director of scouting Andrew Ivins wrote.
“Added almost 80 pounds to a frame that’s pushing 6-foot-5 between his freshman and junior seasons and now tips the scales at well over 300 pounds. Shoots out of stance with some unexpected twitch. Bends more at the waist, but can get underneath opponents. Finds his balance in pass sets and can sink the hips…”
Tennessee currently holds 16 commitments in the class of 2027. The group ranks as the No. 42 class in the country on 247. This features a pair of four-star tackles, Princeton Uwaifo and Q’Mari Hudson.
