Moa is a 6-foot-2, 190-pounder from Ogden, Utah. He is ranked the No. 2 athlete by position and the No. 31 prospect overall in the 2026 class, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Moa’s father, Ben, played at Utah and then in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins. His two brothers play for BYU and Michigan State.
