Scouting Report
Nic Moore is a 4-star Interior Offensive Line from Talbott, TN (Jefferson County) in the 2025 class. Ranked No. 260 nationally. Composite rating: 0.9118. Committed to University of Tennessee.
Physical Profile
Listed at 6-3, 313 lbs. Taller than 12% and heavier than 68% of 2025 Interior Offensive Line prospects in the SEC Scouts database (113 with a listed size).
Play Style
Profile suggests a technically sound but physically developing lineman who likely excels in fundamental areas but needs time to add mass and strength. The lack of extensive offer sheet indicates he may be more of a steady, assignment-sound player rather than a dominant physical specimen.
Strengths
- Strong developmental upside as evidenced by 4-star rating despite limited recruiting exposure
- Geographic fit for Tennessee's offensive system and recruiting footprint in East Tennessee
- Likely possesses good foundational technique given his rating without widespread national attention
Areas to Improve
- Needs significant physical development and strength gains to compete at SEC level
- Must refine pass protection technique and footwork against elite pass rushers
College Projection
Projects as a redshirt candidate who will need 2-3 years of development before contributing meaningfully. Could develop into a solid starter by junior/senior seasons with proper strength and conditioning program.
NFL Outlook
Limited NFL projection based on current profile - would need significant physical development and standout college production to generate professional interest
Best Fit
Ideal for programs emphasizing player development and technical refinement, particularly those running zone-blocking schemes that value intelligence and technique over pure athleticism
Player Comparison
Kelly entered Alabama at 6'4" 300 lbs as a 3-star recruit who was primarily a regional prospect before developing into an All-American center. Like this prospect, he was technically sound with excellent fundamentals but needed time to add functional strength and mass, eventually becoming a first-round NFL draft pick through consistent development and smart play rather than elite athleticism.
