Notre Dame's Lockdown Cornerback | Leonard Moore Player Profile


Listen Later

Leonard Moore finished 2025 with 5 interceptions and 7 pass breakups — and offenses were actively trying not to throw his way. In this video, I break down exactly what makes the Notre Dame cornerback one of the best players in college football: the 6'2" frame and precision striking in press coverage that slows receivers before they even get off the line, the relentless physicality throughout the entire route that never crosses the line into penalties (just 5 flags over two seasons), and the freakish athleticism that only reveals itself on those rare plays where receivers think they've found an opening. There's a play against Stanford where Moore is 7 yards away pre-snap and still swats a 3-yard drag route incomplete. At that point, what can you even do? I also cover the one nitpick — his tackling form and pad level against the run — and why it's more of a self-preservation concern than anything else. Moore belongs in the same conversation as Jeremiah Smith, Colin Simmons, and Kewan Lacy as one of the best players in the country. This video makes that case. Let me know who you want covered next.
