Early years
Moore was born in Liberia in West Africa, and moved to the New Haven, Connecticut area when he was a child.[2] He attended Apex High School in Apex, North Carolina, where he was a letterman in football and track. He played football as a linebacker, running back and fullback. He earned All-area and All-Tri Seven Football League honors as a fullback and linebacker as a senior.
Prior to signing with Connecticut, Moore made a visit to their summer camp in Storrs, where he was timed at 4.54 in the 40-yard dash, 4.41 in the short shuttle, had a 38.5-inch (99 cm) vertical jump, broad jumped 10-foot-2 (3.13 m) and ran the 100-meter dash in 11.1 seconds.[3]
Regarded only as a two-star prospect grade by both Rivals.com and Scout.com, Moore was ranked No. 50 among the nation’s weak-side linebackers. He signed his national letter of intent to attend Connecticut on July 12, 2007.[4]
College career
While attending the University of Connecticut, he played for the Connecticut Huskies football team from 2008 to 2012.[1] During his college career he totaled 274 tackles, 16 quarterback sacks and four interceptions.[1] Following his senior season in 2012, he was a first-team All-Big East Conference selection, and was invited to play in both the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl.[1]
