With 70 days remaining until Virginia kicks off its 2016 football season, here’s a look at #70, Steven Moss.
Position: OG
Height: 6’4″
Weight: 300
Year: Sophomore
Hometown: Fredericksburg, VA
After coming to Virginia as a heralded four-star recruit according to ESPN.com, Rivals.com, Scout.com, and 247Sports.com, Steven Moss hasn’t been able to find the field for the Cavaliers. After redshirting in 2014, he didn’t appear in any games during the 2015 season.
Moss is a road paver suited very well for run blocking. Robert Anae isn’t likely to run a “punch you in the mouth” run heavy offense, but Moss did play some offensive tackle in high school meaning he can be versatile if need be.
He’ll be competing with Jack McDonald and Sean Karl, who both have significant more game experience over the last three years than Moss has. Obviously he has the raw talent as evidenced by the lofty recruiting ranking and an offer list that included Florida State, Auburn, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Clemson, and Virginia Tech. Given the thin status of the Virginia offensive line, the Hoos are going to need Moss to realize his potential and step in to a contributor’s role.
