One of the most explosive playmakers in all of college football, Moore was a constant headache for opposing offenses, threatening to score on every touch. Despite his lack of ideal height, Moore is a tough runner with the ball in his hands, and his versatility made him one of the most dangerous players in the country.
Now, he joins top prospects like Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons, Miami pass rusher Gregory Rousseau and more who are choosing top preserve themselves for the next level rather than playing another season at the college level amid health and safety concerns.
Moore is widely considered a first-round prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft class.
