He has serious after-the-catch explosivity and ran a 10.40 100 and 21.70 200 as a track team member. As a junior, Moore logged over 21 yards per catch in a 70-catch, 1,500-plus-yard, 18-touchdown season.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t have elite size but he makes up for it in every metric. He has an impressive catch radius and can score from anywhere on the field.<\/p>\n<p><em>247Sports<\/em> reports that he has a developed route tree and is a polished route runner. He can create separation from anywhere and overwhelms defensive backs with his impressive agility. At Duncanville, he gets to catch passes from future Alabama quarterback and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/2024\/05\/24\/future-big-10-quarterbacks-selected-for-elite-11-finals\/\" target=\"_self\">Elite 11 Finals MVP<\/a>, Keelon Russell. the pair will be looking to bring home a third consecutive Texas 6-A D-I State title this fall.<\/p>\n<p>He is compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/chris-olave-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Olave<\/a> and has the potential to be just as high of an NFL Draft pick, according to scouts. Moore is more than capable of doing anything and everything asked of him as a receiver and will likely contend for snaps as a true freshman.<\/p>\n<p>Oregon has been on a tear on the recruiting trail of late.
