The 6'4" and 340 pound defensive tackle is by far the biggest of the elite prospects at his position. Moala can play as a run-stuffing, penetrating defensive tackle or clog up the middle with a constant double-team as a nose tackle.
Even at his size, Moala is very quick off the ball and can make plays in the backfield and on the edges. That's really the key to his game; he's not just a space eater there to take on blockers.
The only true ready-now nose tackle from the 2011 class, Moala is a lock to replace the departed Derrick Hill as the anchor of Cal's defensive line next year. Either that or the Golden Bears will have to turn to 299 pound junior Aaron Tipoti; a player with a fraction of Moala's ability.
