I caught up with Moore to ask him about his recruitment:
BYU Insider: Why did you choose BYU? Why do you feel BYU is a good fit for you? What do you most look forward to in suiting up for the cougars?
Moore: The coaching staff is wonderful and I feel at home. Plus they have an In-and-Out and a Krispey Kreme, so I can’t complain.
BYU Insider: What are some of your favorites?
Moore: I like rap music and one of my favorite movies is “Friday.” Also, I can eat breakfast for dinner any day.
BYU Insider: Who is a player (collegiate or pro) that you seek to emulate on the field?
Moore: Chad Johnson (Wide Receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals). He might be cocky but he has that mentality you have to have at all times on-the-field.
BYU Insider: What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
Moore: Stay humble and just do me. Never worry about the person next to you.
