The Los Angeles KISS have been assigned defensive lineman
Dontay Moch, according to an LA KISS press release. Moch was recently on the
Atlanta Falcons practice squad, before he was let go by the NFL franchise.
“We
are really excited for the opportunity to work with Moch, as this is his first experience
in the AFL, LA KISS Head Coach Omarr Smith said. He is a highly explosive
player, which led him to being selected with the second pick of the third round
in the 2011 NFL Draft. We are eager to see what he can do in the AFL with the
LA KISS.”
Moch spent four seasons in the National Football League, but as he couldn’t
find his footing in the league, he will now try his luck in the AFL. Moch was selected
with the 66th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Moch was inactive for all of the 2011 season, but he saw action in one game
with the Bengals in 2012.
In 2013, Moch totaled three tackles and one sack with
the Arizona Cardinals. In his last NFL season, Moch was a member of the
Tennessee Titans. Moch recorded two tackles and one pass deflection in four
games with the team.
Moch went to college at Nevada, where he was a four year
starter. Moch totaled 62 tackles for loss and 9 forced fumbles during his collegiate
career, which set Western Athletic Conference records. Moch also had 121
tackles and 30 sacks during his successful career as a member of the Wolf Pack.
Moch earned second team All-WAC honors and 2008, and he was awarded with first
team All-WAC honors in 2009. As well, Moch was named the WAC Defensive Player
of the Year in 2009.
