Tarvarius Moore 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Safety Tarvarius Moore<\/a><\/strong> is not your average household name among this year’s NFL prospects. After earning Conference USA honorable mention in 2017, Moore was not even among the 300+ attendees invited to the 2018 NFL Combine. Despite the lack of recognition, Moore looks to make a name for himself in the NFL.<\/p>\n

I can’t believe I just got to USM safety Tarvarius Moore. His testing numbers were insane at 4.32, with 38.5 VJ and 11’1″ BJ, but the tape matched the testing. Excellent cover skills too. Easy second day selection and one of the most under-the-radar safeties in the class.<\/p>\n

Football Career<\/h2>\n

Long before blowing up at Southern Miss’ Pro Day, Moore attended Quitman High, where he appeared in three consecutive South State title games. His senior season, Moore accumulated 10 tackles, three pass deflections, two interceptions, and a sack. The senior earned the title of Second-Team 3A All-State safety. Yet, the all-state center-fielder received no offers from major universities and looked elsewhere to play.<\/p>\n

The absence of offers from FBS schools ultimately landed Moore at Pearl River Community College. Moore’s freshman season as a Wildcat was ordinary, but his second collegiate season garnered well-deserved recognition. Moore burst onto the scene as he produced 72 tackles, eight pass deflections, one interception, and two forced fumbles. Moore also displayed his elite athleticism by averaging 39.6 yards per kick return and recording a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown. For these efforts, Moore received the honor of First-Team All-Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges as a kick returner and defensive back. Moore then accepted his only major college offer from Southern Miss.<\/p>\n

The newest Golden Eagle made an impact in 2016. Moore collected two interceptions – including one against the LSU Tigers – and two pass deflections in a limited role. Similar to his sophomore year at Pearl River, Moore made the most of his opportunity. In 2017, Moore’s senior season, he recorded 87 tackles, three interceptions, 10 pass deflections, and forced one fumble. Moore displayed quickness, instincts, and athleticism that has gone unnoticed by NFL scouts and teams.<\/p>\n
