Cliffs Notes: A day after Texas flipped 2018 QB Cameron Rising from Oklahoma to Texas, the Longhorns added another member, the fifth, to the 2018 class when Seminole (Seminole) offensive lineman Reese Moore committed to Texas.
Rankings: Moore is ranked No. 60 in the updated 2018 LSR 100, and Rivals.com ranks him as a three-star prospect.
Key Offers: Baylor, Missouri, Northwestern, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, Virginia, and Vanderbilt have all offered Moore.
Evaluation: Have you ever watched a school like Iowa or Wisconsin, schools that routinely produce NFL talent along the offensive line, and wondered where some of their guys come from? Because they're often not ranked very high, and it also seems like they have a redshirt sophomore that comes out of nowhere to be a solid starter. Moore reminds me of those guys, who normally have backgrounds that include multiple sports, different positions, or are guys that add a lot of muscle and weight in college.
He plays tight end for his high school, also plays basketball, and screams upside. He's big, strong, has a good body that's going to add more strength and weight, and he's athletic for a big guy that's going to move to tackle at the next level. Yes, he's raw at the position, and needs to get stronger. I'm not projecting an immediate starter or a lock to be a pro. But I love big guys that play basketball, and ones that show some unique athleticism and skill on the field. That's what Moore does. There's a lot of potential there even if the current prospect isn't as highly rated as the nationally elite. Coaches can teach technique. They can't teach size, feet, and athleticism.
Why it matters: Moore's potential profiles very well at offensive line, and the Longhorns definitely need some big guys in this year's class.
Enjoy: Take a look at the big fella catching the rock, breaking tackles, and also blocking. Plus, his Hudl page includes hoops highlights too.
