Moore is a product of Woodland Hills High School in Pittsburgh, Penn. In 2023, he notched 92 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and one interception on the defensive side of the ball as well as 13 touchdowns on the offensive side.

Boston College has been on Moore’s radar for a couple of months now. He took a visit to Chestnut Hill and received his offer from the program on April 5 and he has an upcoming official visit on June 13.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound prospect is one of two that have put the Eagles in their final five schools.

Class of 2026 safety Jax Pope, a recruit from Buford, Ga., also revealed his final five schools on Friday. He will choose between Stanford, Duke, Arkansas, Mississippi State, and Boston College.

Both will announce their commitments at a later date.
