Moore steamrolled Miami OT Markel Bell with a well-leveraged bull rush during the American Team practice. He flashed again as a run defender, using his length and play strength during a scrimmage.
Moore has average size, but he’s a momentum-based pass rusher who gets into tackles first with a long-arm move that loosens the tackle’s anchor and collapses the edge. He needs to play every snap with consistent urgency, but Tuesday’s practice was a good reminder of what he’s capable of in both phases.
Bigger winners from Day 1 of the 2026 Senior Bowl
T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson
One of the biggest names going into the Senior Bowl was Parker, who was widely considered a top 20 pick before the 2025 season. But after a lackluster season, Parker has seen his stock significantly over the last 12 months. Tuesday was a good reminder of why the 2025 hype was justified.
Parker’s strength and physicality were on full display, winning multiple reps during team periods and during the one-on-one drills. At one point, he long-armed an offensive tackle off his feet and up into the air in a beautiful pass-rush win. While he still needs to show he can win outside of just being powerful, Parker was a big winner during the first practice of the week.
Jacas stood out with consistent effort and burst off the edge. He showed good leverage in one-on-ones and didn’t look overwhelmed against top-tier competition. His motor and physicality popped early, helping him carve out momentum in a deep edge rusher group.

Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame
Strong arguments could be made for Fields being the top wideout on Day One. Getting physical with this guy proved unwise for defenders, as the 6-foot-4 mountain routinely fought through contact to secure passes. Separation wasn’t necessarily gained on many routes, however at Fields’ size coupled with his physicality, contested situations are going to tilt in his favor. The ability to block also stood out as a positive Tuesday. We’ll be seeing this dude on Sundays.
The first day of Senior Bowl practices belonged to the defensive linemen. Both teams fielded multiple big maulers who routinely humiliated their own offensive lines.
Monstrous Texas Tech defensive tackle Lee Hunter was the main run-stuffer and pass-rusher for the National team, winning pretty much every one-on-one rep he had and making things difficult even when double-teamed. While other D-linemen like Utah's Logan Fano and Western Michigan's Nadame Tucker had moments, the 6-foot-3, 320-pound Hunter stood out.
From the general fan perspective, there is an overall appreciation for the raw talent that these players bring to the table. As is typically the case, several prospects impressed during the weigh-in portion of the week, while others disappointed slightly. Here is every result for every player who chose to measure. That includes height, weight, arm length, and hand size.
