Ahmad Moten Named Top 5 Defensive Prospect

Ahmad Moten, Miami’s defensive tackle, just landed the No. 5 spot on ESPN’s top 10 defensive players for the upcoming college football season — the only ACC player in that elite group. Coming off a stellar year with 31 tackles, 9 for loss, and 4.5 sacks, Moten anchors a Hurricanes defense that ranked top ten nationally in scoring and run defense. He outpaced other top prospects to earn his spot, joining a list led by Notre Dame’s Leonard Moore and featuring stars like Colin Simmons and Dylan Stewart. Miami’s defense also got a boost with votes for safety Bryce Fitzgerald (6 INTs as a freshman) and defensive end Damon Wilson II, signaling a deep and dangerous unit poised for another strong season.
