Early life and playing career

[edit]

Moore grew up in Prosser, Washington and attended Prosser High School. He was a four-year starter for the football team, which was coached by his father.[2] Moore was named the Washington 2A Player of the Year as a senior after catching 131 passes for 2,126 yards and 34 touchdowns.[3] He finished his high school career with 304 receptions for 4,909 yards and national high school record 95 touchdowns.[4]

Moore followed his older brother Kellen and played college football at Boise State for five seasons.[5] He caught 21 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns as a freshman. Moore redshirted his true sophomore season.[6] He had 22 receptions for 247 yards with one touchdown as a redshirt sophomore.[7] Moore was the Broncos' second-leading receiver during his redshirt junior season 36 receptions and 368 receiving yards.[8] He missed half of his redshirt senior season to a foot injury.[9] Moore finished his college playing career with 115 receptions for 1,137 and six touchdowns in 45 games played.[10]

Coaching career

[edit]

Moore began his coaching career as a wide receivers coach at the College of Idaho when the school revived its football program in 2014.[11] He was hired as an offensive graduate assistant at Washington the following season, reuniting him with former Boise State head coach Chris Petersen.[12]

Moore was hired as the wide receivers coach at Fresno State in 2017.[10] He remained on staff after head coach Jeff Tedford resigned and was named passing game coordinator in addition to wide receivers coach by new head coach Kalen DeBoer.[13] Moore was promoted offensive coordinator in December 2021 after DeBoer left Fresno State to become the head coach at Washington and Tedford was re-hired.[14]

On January 4, 2023, Moore was hired as offensive coordinator for the University of Missouri,[15] serving under head coach Eliah Drinkwitz. On December 31, 2023, the University of Missouri announced a contract extension for Moore through the 2025 football season which included a pay raise to $1.5 million for the 2024 season. [16]
