[autotag]Jordan Moore[/autotag], Duke’s star wide receiver, authored what may be the best moment of his college football career on Saturday with a 39-yard touchdown against Wake Forest on the final play, handing the Blue Devils a 23-17 victory and a nine-win regular season.
After the game, Moore took to social media for a strong vote of confidence in the program and its first-year coaching staff.
“Best decision I ever made was to come to Duke,” Moore wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “If you want to play for a coach that truly believes in his players, come play for (Manny Diaz).”
Moore ended Saturday’s game with 98 yards on five receptions, giving him 50 receptions and a team-leading 798 yards for the year despite an injury that kept him on a snap count for more than a month. He ended both of the first two games with at least 100 yards, giving him five career triple-digit performances despite only playing the position for three seasons.
After making the switch from quarterback to wide receiver ahead of the 2022 campaign, Moore ended up with 2,289 career receiving yards and 20 touchdowns on 172 catches (pending a potential bowl game).
