Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-6, 265-pound senior defensive lineman recorded 96 tackles and 13 sacks this past season, leading the Stags (10-2) to the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Upper Division Tournament championship game. Moore also had 18 tackles for a loss, 16 quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and an interception, leading a defense that allowed just 5.4 points per game. The brother of Justin Moore, the state’s 2018-19 Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year, he is ranked as the nation’s No. 57 recruit in the Class of 2023 by Rivals.com.
