Height: 6’1″
Weight: 181 lbs.
High school: Saint Louis (MO) Cardinal Ritter

Last year: I ranked Moore #73 and said he would be a backup wide receiver and special teamer (LINK). He made 4 catches for 32 yards while playing in thirteen games.
TTB Rating: 68
Moore was a high school speedster who wasn’t needed much in 2023. With the fleet-footed Roman Wilson on the roster, the Wolverines didn’t really need someone else who could stretch the field. Moore rotated in at receiver but was never much of a factor, especially in big games. The place where I thought he might help most was in the return game, but that didn’t work out, either.
Based on what I saw of Moore in the spring game, though, I think he has a chance to break out this fall. Working to get open on a scramble drill, he shook loose from defensive end Aymeric Koumba in the flat (not a difficult feat in itself) and then reversed field to outrun the entire defense for a touchdown. Granted, there were a couple walk-ons and backups on the field, but Moore showed his acceleration and top-end speed. Michigan doesn’t have any proven, go-to receivers on the roster, but Moore could be the guy most likely to break an 80-yard touchdown. And again, he will probably be competing for kickoff return and/or punt return duties.
