The former NCAA All-American in track & field earned honorable mention All-Conference USA accolades in his first collegiate campaign playing defense last fall. He appeared in all 13 games with 12 starts, registering 49 tackles (22 solos/27 assists), three pass breakups, one interception and a forced fumble. Moore also averaged 20.2 yards on five kickoff returns, including a season-long 32-yarder at Colorado State (Sept. 10).

He posted a season-best eight stops at No. 22 Texas A&M (Nov. 19) and added seven tackles at Colorado State (Sept. 10). Moore also picked off a pass and racked up six stops at Middle Tennessee (Nov. 5).

Moore is a native of Atlanta.
