Tyson's older brother Tristan Moore will be on the Gophers' 2026 roster as a true freshman. Listed at 5-foot-11, Tyson is viewed as one of the top 2027 prospects in Minnesota. His primary position is catcher, but he can also play in the outfield.

Head coach Ty McDevitt and his staff had a busy 2025 offseason, rebuilding their roster through the transfer portal. Moore now gives them a significant building block as they look to craft their 2027 high school recruiting class.
