Nate Moore
Massillon Washington High School (OH)
About
In 16 years as a head coach, Nate Moore has compiled a 161-50 overall record and a 44-12 playoff record. He holds the unique distinction of being the only football coach in Ohio history to win a state championship at both a private school (Cincinnati La Salle) and a public school (Massillon). Under his leadership, Massillon broke a 53-year drought by capturing the 2023 Division II State Championship with a 16-0 record, and in 2022 he surpassed Paul Brown to become Massillon’s all-time winningest head coach.
Beyond his on-field success—which includes eight consecutive 10-win seasons from 2017 to 2024 and an international victory against the London NFL Academy—Coach Moore serves as Massillon’s Athletic Director, managing a half-million-dollar operating budget. He has helped 118 players reach college football, including 55 at the Division I level, and sent numerous players to active professional rosters.
