Local UCLA DL James Moffat brings size, versatility, and upside
James Moffat is a 6-foot-4, 255- to 265-pound defensive lineman from Crespi in Encino who committed to UCLA after originally pledging to Princeton, and the move fits a Bruins staff looking for flexible front-seven pieces. He’s viewed as able to play both EDGE and interior DL, which gives him a valuable schematic fit, and reports highlight his academic profile, local ties, and quick rise as a late-blooming recruit rather than a polished star rating. The takeaway: he may not be a Day 1 impact guy, but he looks like a smart, high-upside fit for UCLA’s development model.
