After a visit to check out Texas late last week, Moore said nothing has changed. Texas is still the team to beat for the Yoakum product, who the Longhorns are recruiting as a defensive back.
Key quote: "I would say just the way they treated me. I've been down there but never to get one on one time with coaches and players like (Thursday)," Moore said. "It was awesome. They treated me like family. I got to watch them practice, see how they actually get down and work hard. They get after it. That's the type of program I want to be at.
"I talked to all the coaches. I got one on one time with coach Strong. He just told me that they really want me, just talked about my high school career, how I'm going to help my high school team win a state championship."
Timeline for his recruitment: Moore still has about 19 months on the calendar before he'll actually sign his letter of intent, but he has a plan of how he'd like to execute things
On August 25, he'll release a top 10 list. His plan is to make a commitment on June 18 of next year, but he said that date is flexible and a decision could come as early as next month.
"If I feel like a team is pushing out, pushing for me strong, I feel like I can go in and help the team, then I'll do it early," Moore said.
Return visit in the works: Moore doesn't have any visits on his calendar for the rest of the summer since his focus is on Yoakum's pre-season practices, but he wants to get back to Austin a couple times in the coming weeks.
"I was actually planning on coming down to watch them practice during their two a days when we're off. Then I'm going to come to the Notre Dame game that Sunday," Moore said.
Youth movement: In watching Texas go through its off-season workout during his visit, Moore said it was a number of young players who grabbed his attention the most.
"They were doing conditioning and testing. I like how when one person was tired and feeling like giving up, other players built them up," Moore said. "Kris Boyd, Shane Buechele, Collin Johnson, Devin Duvernay (stood out). "They were just building up the young freshmen. They seem like they have bought into the program, bought in early, know they have to be leaders of the team," Moore said. "They helping everyone up that felt like quitting. Hanging out with Kris, he puts off a very strong vibe."
