Out of Smithson Valley High School, Moore was a key addition for Texas through the transfer portal. When speaking at the Touchdown Club of Houston in May, head coach Steve Sarkisian had some notable praise for outside linebacker.

“(Trey Moore) is going to be a real problem. He’s going to be a guy to watch this fall,” Sarkisian said.

During his three-seasons with the Roadrunners, Moore racked up 105 total tackles, 35.5 tackles for loss, 22 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 10 passes defensed and 1 interception. His final season in 2023-24 really put him on the map when he broke out with 14 sacks, third-most in the FBS while earning American Athletic Conference defense player of the year honors.

As a team, the Longhorns were picked to finish second behind preseason favorite Georgia and ahead of third-place pick Alabama.
