Snider Sophomore DJ Moore Bursts onto Recruiting Scene

Snider Sophomore DJ Moore Bursts onto Recruiting Scene

Hey good evening everyone..

Well just another day, another scholarship offer for dj moore..on friday, the university of cincinnati became the fifth major college football program to offer moore in just the last week..

Our petar hood recently had a chance to catch up with the snider offensive lineman, who has bursting onto the recruiting scene as just a sophomore..

Narr: over the years, snider has become known around the state for its smash mouth style.?nat pop- crowd cheers?

Narr: and while their running backs often get the spotlight, dudes like d-j moore are the ones who make it possible for the panthers to ground and pound their opponents..dj moore: "i'm just a bully on the field, and i bring a lot of energy.

I'm a leader, and i guess i'm just elite."?nat pop- "touchdown panthers!"?

Narr: those aren't his words either.

That's what coaches at some of the best college football schools in the country are telling him.

Just a sophomore, moore has already picked up eight f-b-s scholarship offers, with five of them coming in the last week..moore: "it's been exciting, and like... i never thought that i'd get this much attention while playing football.

It's just really a blessing to have this opportunity."narr: yeah, there have been a ton of exciting opportunities presented to him recently.

But perhaps the coolest recruiting moment for moore so far came when penn state called last friday..

Moore: "when i got that offer, it was surreal.

I didn't even think... i was like, wow.

My favorite college just offered me out of nowhere.

I didn't know how to react to that.

They've had a lot of nfl players come through there, like sequon barkley, mcsorley, and i like their uniforms, the white-outs and stuff."narr: but although moore grew up a nitnay lions fan, he says he won't let that get in the way when it comes time to make a decision on where he wants to go..moore: "i defintely have to put that aside.

It's not about who's your favorite or whose uniforms are the best.

It's about whose weight room can prepare you the most, what coaching staff do you get along with, what's the environment like."narr: and with two years of high school left, he's got plenty of time to evaluate all of that stuff.

Moore says he likely won't make a decision until after his junior season.
