Texas edge Trey Moore viewed as ‘Top 3 player on the team’

Trey Moore has emerged as one of the top players for Texas this offseason.

UTSA transfer Trey Moore is making an impression over the offseason. The edge rusher is viewed as one of the top players on the Texas roster by some.

Inside Texas’ Eric Nahlin spoke of one source from practice who says Moore has the team’s respect. Nahlin said the following of the edge rusher in early offseason activity.

“The sentiment on the team is, if you watched the last six weeks of workouts, he’s one of the two or three best players on the team, maybe even the best player on the team.

We know he’s extremely explosive, works very hard, quiet, puts his head down, still works like he has a chip on his shoulder coming from UTSA.”

Moore made waves in San Antonio putting up 14 sacks last season for the UTSA Roadrunners. It was a testament to skill and higher work ethic than his peers.

The UTSA edge was not given a star rating out of high school. Now he’s considered not only a starter caliber player but a potential star for the Longhorns in the SEC. Time will tell what role he plays on the team, but the defensive line could be stronger than expected if the report is any indication.

Texas Football: Three game times announced for the 2023 season

Kickoff times have been announced for three Texas football games this fall.

Kickoff times have been announced for three Texas football games this fall. The Longhorns matchups vs. Rice, Wyoming and Texas Tech have start times and TV channels.

  • Week 1 vs. Rice: 2:30 p.m CT on FOX
  • Week 3 vs. Wyoming: 7 p.m CT on LHN
  • Week 13 vs. Texas Tech: 6:30 p.m CT on ABC

The 2023 opener against Rice is likely to be a hot one. Early season day games at DKR are usually not a great combination because the temperature could be in the triple digits.

Texas returns home after the highly anticipated Alabama trip to host Wyoming under the lights.

The season finale vs. Texas Tech is a prime-time affair the day after Thanksgiving. The game could have significant Big 12 title implications in the last week of the year. All eyes should be on Texas and Texas Tech on Black Friday.
