Moody, a standout prospect from Pennsylvania, is considered one of the top offensive line prospects in the area.

Standing at 6-6, 345 pounds, Moody brings significant size and potential to Maryland's future offensive line. What makes his physical attributes more noticeable is that he still has one more year of high school left, giving him additional time to develop before arriving in College Park next year.

Despite receiving offers from major programs like Miami, Georgia, Oregon, and Penn State, Moody ultimately chose Maryland as the best fit for his future. Moody's commitment gives the Terrapins 11 total for the 2026 cycle so far. According to On3's latest team rankings, the Terps now rank No. 49 nationally and No. 17 in the Big Ten.
