Super 11 Spotlight: Corvin Moment (tcpalm.com; Pfahler)
Vero Beach High School football coach Lenny Jankowski remembers the first time Corvin Moment stepped onto his field like it was yesterday.
Moment's athleticism showed immediately — enough that he was placed at quarterback on the freshman team instead of his preferred role on defense.
"He was not a natural quarterback, but he was a really good athlete and we needed someone like that at that position," Jankowski said. "I don't think quarterback was his favorite thing, but that speaks volumes for his football aptitude."
Now, entering his senior year, Moment — rated No. 3 in the TCPalm Super 11 — is using his versatility to bolster Vero Beach's defense.
At 6-foot-1, 230 pounds, Moment plays an outside linebacker/down safety role and is capable of filling many roles. He earned a spot at cornerback at the beginning of his sophomore year and started every game there before moving to his current position last season. He was a Class 8A honorable mention pick in 2015 after recording 63 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.
"As a sophomore, he was young and green, but he played phenomenal and made a ton of plays," Jankowski recalled. "Then, last year, he continued to get bigger and stronger in how kids naturally progress, but he's a guy never missed a workout or rep, so he grew to 200-plus pounds, a physical player, so we moved him to a down safety/outside linebacker hybrid position and he's grown into that.
"Again, he's a very good athlete so we feel he can play inside linebacker, strong safety, outside linebacker. He can do all those things. His best quality is he is just a great football player. He's headsy and has a high football IQ and he's grown into being a more natural leader — all those things you look for in a player."
