At 6-foot-2, 220-pounds, Moore is a sturdy outside linebacker prospect. According to a premium report from Scout.com's Braulio Perez, he was primarily recruited by assistant coach Roy Manning.
If the Cougars use Moore at the Rush linebacker position, than Manning will be his position coach in college. If he instead plays Wil or Mike linebacker, Ken Wilson will coach him.
As you can see in his film below, it appears that Moore frequently lines up on the line of scrimmage for Crenshaw, so he's got some experience playing a position similar to Rush.
