“After much thought, prayer, and discussions with my family, I’ve decided to decommit from the University of Pittsburgh. I want to thank the Pitt staff and community for their belief in me and the love they showed. But I believe it’s the right step for my future and my education and athletic career is at the University of Maryland. 10000000% Committed.”

The native of Willis, Texas announced his commitment to Pitt back on June 15th after making official visits to both Pitt and Maryland. Moore (6’4″, 290-pounds) also held offers from Ohio State, Nebraska, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Baylor, Kansas and Arizona State.

On3 and ESPN rate Moore as a four-star recruit with the former listing him as the N0. 9 interior offensive lineman in the class, 28th recruit of Texas and 204th overall player in the class.

With the loss of Moore, Pitt now holds commitments from 3 offensive lineman in their Class of 2026-  Pine-Richland interior lineman John Curran III and offensive tackles Mike van der Oord and Nick Howard. 

Moore becomes the first decommitment for Pitt this recruiting season.
