Inside Scoop on How the Offer Went Down:
Moore, who was at Tuesday afternoon practice at the time, was unsuspecting that he would receive a call.
And while the Gamecocks’ offer caught him off-guard, the first thing that came to his head was a rush of excitement.
Here’s Moore’s personal account of how it went all went down:
“Well, I was at practice, and my coach pulled me to the side. He said, ‘South Carolina offered.’ So, after practice, I hit up (WR Coach
Justin Stepp). I got in the car to call him up. He told me that he wanted to offer me,” he said.
The offer from the Gamecocks, who are ranked in the latest AP Top 25 and on a four-game winning streak for the first time since 2013 even put Moore in a ‘state of shock,’ Moore said.
“I was shocked at first, because South Carolina is a really big school, and I hear that their campus is really pretty. So I was just excited,” he said.
It only makes sense for South Carolina to take a shot at an athlete who has a tall, buildable frame that is performing against top-notch competition in the Sunshine State. Through seven games, Moore has recorded 24 receptions and 699 yards along with one carry for 43 rushing yards, averaging 29.1 yards per catch.
