Derrick Moore enters the 2025 season as Michigan’s top returning edge rusher and one of the most intriguing physical talents in the 2026 NFL Draft class. A former Gatorade Player of the Year in Maryland and 4-star recruit from Saint Frances Academy, Moore flashed dominant traits in 2024, posting a 23.1% pass-rush win rate—4th among all returning FBS EDGE defenders. He boasts a thick, powerful frame at 6’3”, 258 lbs with elite proportional length, explosion off the snap, and a relentless motor. Moore thrives when converting speed to power, collapsing pockets with torque and hand strength. He also brings strong edge-setting ability against the run, stacking and shedding blocks with anchor strength and active hands. However, he remains raw as a pass rusher with limited counters and inconsistent leverage application. If Moore develops a refined pass-rush plan and continues to build on his 2024 production, he could rise into Day 2 consideration. His best fit is in a 4-3 base or hybrid front where he can play with his hand in the dirt or in a wide alignment as a power end.
