One of four St Brendan's College players to make the starting team for the defending champions, the Spa club man is a devastating wing-forward.
He played a key role in the comeback win for his school over St Pat's Maghera last month, and his powerful runs were a massive factor in the win.
Pacey, and crucially for a minor, possessing the ability to break the first tackle, Moynihan is highly rated in a group of Kerry minors that are regarded as just as good as the county's double All-Ireland winning side.
The Killenaule man emerged in the Leinster spring league series to become a key player for new manager Michael O'Sullivan as an attacking half-back.
Named at full-back for their championship opener, the defender is an imposing presence on the edge of the square thanks to his rugby background.
Like Alan Tynan in last year's panel, the Rockwell College student is a developing oval ball prospect and has the physique to match his football skills.

The Corofin teenager is hoping for a busy spring as he has already featured for the Clare minor hurlers.
The Ennistymon CBS man played full-back last week in the loss to Limerick, and will also be looking for an extended run with the Banner footballers.
Unusually he is a defender in hurling, but more used to life as a forward while playing football.
Clare will be hoping his dual commitments will be a benefit to his physical conditioning, and he is likely to feature at either wing, or corner forward, in their championship opener.
Nathan Walsh, from Douglas, is this year's team captain and, along with Mark White, one of only two players to survive from the 2015 panel.
The Rebels are looking for a first All-Ireland minor title since 2000, and Walsh will be expected to lead the charge from centre-back.
The teenager suffered from injury in last year's championship, but impressive performances especially for his club at minor and Under-21 grade, have seen his football develop significantly.
Any Cork success will be based on how well he performs from the anchor role.
