“I don't know if it's an Indiana thing. But Coach Frye literally sounds like my dad when he talks,” Moore said. “He feels like a family member and it was a big impact. I was comparing things, but it all narrowed down to (the coaching staff) and the distance. The distance was the main reason (I picked OSU), I mean, it's two and a half hours from my house. My dad's a big guy, he's 6-foot-7 and he doesn't fit on planes. It's good for them to be able to see me.

“And I know that when they come over, they're going to be treated like they're a part of the football team. And it's just having the coaches feel like family makes me feel like when my family comes to visit me, they're going to treat them like family.”



ON THE FIELD
Moore has been an anchor at the tackle position for New Palestine’s offensive line in his junior season, and it’s a big reason why his team finished the regular season 9-0.

At 6-foot-5 and 295-pounds, Moore is capable of playing all five offensive line positions in college and worked out at each while on the recruiting camp circuit over the summer. He shows great explosion off the line of scrimmage on running plays and brings the mean streak to the field OSU typically hopes to see in its offensive linemen. Moore follows through on his blocks long after the ball carrier has left his gap, often driving opponents into the ground. He’s also shown great patience and strength in pass protection while handing bull rushes or other pass-rushing moves.

“I feel like I'm a great teammate,” Moore said of what he can bring to OSU. “I feel like I'm pretty explosive off the ball and have a pretty good kick set. Growing up playing basketball, I'm pretty good at moving my feet. I've got good hands because you know hand-eye coordination in basketball was pretty much the most important thing.

“So I mean, I've got a lot of the good fundamental things. I feel like I've definitely got some stuff to improve on. Who knows when I'll play or when I'll actually see the field, but I'm hoping it'll be soon.“
