Moore Jr.: Texas Talent Seeks NFL Future at CU
26 May
Summary
- DeAndre Moore Jr. transferred to Colorado from Texas.
- He aims for the NFL, targeting a breakout year in 2026.
- Moore battled injuries but aims to be a primary receiver.
DeAndre Moore Jr., a former wide receiver for the Texas Longhorns, has transferred to the Colorado Buffaloes for the 2026 season with NFL ambitions. Having shared receiver duties with significant talents at Texas, Moore seeks to emerge as a top target in Colorado's fast-paced offense. His time in Austin, where he recorded 988 yards and 11 touchdowns across the 2024 and 2025 seasons, has prepared him for a potential breakout year.
Moore's spring participation was limited due to an injury, but if he recovers fully, he could become a crucial player. His previous experience competing against future NFL players and SEC cornerbacks is expected to be advantageous. To solidify his NFL Draft prospects for 2027, Moore will need to perform well in challenging games, specifically against the Utah Utes in Week 7 and the UCF Knights later in the season.
These critical matchups against stout defenses will provide Moore an opportunity to showcase his abilities. Strong performances against Utah, which had one of the Big 12's top pass defenses in 2025, and UCF, another strong defensive unit, could make his film undeniable for NFL scouts.
