I never watched Nevada play, so I have never seen him. However, his numbers do look quite impressive. I notice that he didn't have any INTs while at Nevada. Was he an OLB or a DE? If anyone has any further info on him, please post it here. I am looking for any feedback from those who have seen him play. Right now he is #2 on my list of prospects that I have never seen play, OG Benjamin Ijalana being #1.

i posted an article about him way back with his sick speed big gems, but i would have to dig it up, its somewhere in draft section best i remember

He's a 4-3 OLB I think. He will dominate at the combine and that will raise his stock.

hell get him an have him cover the TE's an RB's



They were the ones who timed the run. They were the ones who saw it happen right in front of their faces. But they didn't believe it. Nevada's Dontay Moch had just run a 4.18-second 40-yard dash. That time would be among the fastest ever recorded. In disbelief, they made him run again. He clocked a 4.08 in his second try. That time is almost inhuman. So, they made him run again. On his third and final try, he covered the 40 yards in 4.2 seconds. Maybe he was a little tired, but even that time is run by only the most nimble wide receivers and cornerbacks. Imagine a 6-foot-1, 245-pound defensive end like Moch running it. Unthinkable. "He has freakish talent," Wolf Pack defensive coordinator Andy Buh said. "Freakish talent. That would be my two words for Dontay Moch. When he puts his mind to it, he's unstoppable." Moch smiles when asked about that junior pro day this summer when he awed the NFL scouts with his speed. And the distressing thing for offensive linemen is that Moch, the reigning WAC defensive player of the year, is now tapping his potential. – The Reno Gazette-Journal

I thought he played a 4-3 DE. Similar to Jason Williams in athleticism, size & production, except without the turnover numbers.

^^You're right...looks like he plays DE for Nevada right now. Most draft sites have him projected to LB though. Maybe 3-4 OLB

3-4 OLB, but due to his size, he would really be a pass rushing specialist only his first few years. Think Victor Butler with more athleticism.

i will take a faster and more athletic Victor Butler....imagine what that would do for our pass rush and our special teams.....

I would too and drop Brandon Williams, but I think someone will grab him in round 2 or 3. Not sure if I would draft him before round 4

Then the Cowboys should have kept Jason Williams and just slid him to OLB, like he himself suggested.
