Signee analysis: TJ Moore - 4-star WR - Tampa, Florida

Committed since: 6/6/23.

Listed size: 6-3 190.

Notable: Moore tallied 50 catches for 1,272 yards and 17 scores as a senior, adding over 100 total rushing and returning yards as well. He caught 42 passes for 1,021 yards (24.3 average) and 13 touchdowns as a junior. Moore had a top schools list prior to committing that also included Georgia, Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU, Florida, Auburn, Penn State, Colorado, Tennessee, Southern Cal, Miami and Pitt. He is an All-American Bowl selection.

Quotable: “A big-play wide receiver with exceptional hands…Explosive tendencies as a route runner as he can quickly stack defensive backs with his initial burst before shaking them with sharp cuts and decisive turns…Tracks the ball well over his shoulder and does a nice job of running underneath deep shots…Could always improve top-end speed, but has shown that he can pull away from defenders on Friday nights… Should be viewed as a potential WR1 at the Power Five level given body control, run-after-catch capability and trusted mitts. Likely to thrive in an offense that wants to attack the deeper third and let its wideouts cook.” 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins on Moore.

Clemson WR commit TJ Moore (@tjmoore305) put on tape the ability to create separation (4.8 YOS on the play), an important trait for receivers. #ReelAnalytics
