Going into the 2020 football season, LonghornsWire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Texas roster.
Over the summer, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Tom Herman this season.
Today, we will be looking at redshirt sophomore wide receiver Joshua Moore.
Joshua Moore, Wide receiver
Height: 6-1 / Weight: 170
Class: Redshirt sophomore
Hometown: Yoakum, Texas
High School: Yoakum
HS ranking (247Sports): Four-star / No. 147 overall / No. 22 position / No. 14 in-state
HS ranking (Rivals): Four-star / No. 150 overall / No. 26 position / No. 14 in-state
Analysis: Coming in as a freshman in 2018, Moore was able to play in six games while having seven catches for 53 yards. Then, he suffered a season-ending injury. With some off the field problems occurring before the 2019 season, he took a redshirt.
Moore picked the Longhorns over Texas A&M and Nebraska out of high school and is ready to gain a starting role. With wide receiver being an open position going into 2020, Moore could become a key proponent for Mike Yurich.
Despite dealing with some off the field problems, the redshirt sophomore will be cleared to play this season. With Brennan Eagles being the main receiver, Moore could become a solid No. 2 in this Texas offense. That is if he beats out newcomer Tarik Black.
