In a surprising turn of events, standout Texas Longhorns outside linebacker Trey Moore has announced his decision to flip his commitment to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Moore, who had been heavily pursued by powerhouse programs such as Tennessee, Michigan, and others, made the announcement after an impressive recruiting push by South Carolina’s coaching staff.
Moore, a highly rated prospect known for his explosive speed, versatile skill set, and exceptional football IQ, had initially been a solid commit to the Texas Longhorns. However, after evaluating his options and visiting South Carolina, he felt a stronger connection with the Gamecocks’ vision for his future.
“South Carolina just felt like home,” Moore shared during his commitment announcement. “Coach [Shane Beamer] and his staff showed me how I could thrive here, both as a player and as a person. The energy and family atmosphere at South Carolina were unmatched.”
The Gamecocks have been gaining momentum on the recruiting trail under Coach Beamer, and landing a player of Moore’s caliber is a testament to their growing reputation. With his ability to play multiple linebacker roles and contribute in pass-rushing situations, Moore is expected to be a dynamic addition to South Carolina’s defense.
Moore’s decision is a significant win for the Gamecocks as they fend off strong competition from SEC rivals like Tennessee and top programs like Michigan. This commitment solidifies South Carolina’s standing as a program on the rise and a serious contender in the SEC.
As the Gamecocks continue to build their 2025 recruiting class, Moore’s flip serves as a message to future recruits: South Carolina is a program where top-tier talent can flourish.
Welcome to South Carolina, Trey Moore! Gamecock Nation is excited to see you dominate on the field.
