Kid looks like a perfect fit for CB at Ohio State, scheme and talent wise, and looks like he can be just as good at safety.

Great offer by the staff, if true. Being a JUCO, he could step in and compete right away for a starting spot with Chekwa, Torrence, and Hines graduating.

 

[MSURacerDT55]

Wow, when I saw his highlights, my first thoughts were Chris McAllister...

 

[Buckeye86]

From the highlights, it doesn't look like he plays press coverage much... makes me think safety.

'A perfect 10 for 10' for Moore on trip to UT
By Josh Ward

Posted December 7, 2010

Byron Moore?s trip to Tennessee this past weekend probably couldn?t have gone any better.

?It was a perfect 10 of out 10 if I rated it,? the defensive back from Los Angeles Harbor Community College said.

Moore, who has three years of eligibility remaining, still has several visits to take before he makes a decision.

He said he will visit Ole Miss this weekend, followed by trips to Ohio State on Dec. 17, Oregon State on Jan. 14 and LSU on Jan. 21.

Moore, who?s also being recruited by several other Pac-10 schools, said distance won?t be a factor in his decision.

?I?m going to go wherever I feel the best place is for me and whoever has the best to offer,? he said.

Another interesting tidbit from the article:

UT is recruiting the 6-foot, 200-pound Moore to play cornerback.
He said UT?s coaches like his size and potential to cover bigger receivers in the SEC.
?They said out of the (cornerbacks) they?ve seen so far I?m the best one on their list and I?m the main guy they want to come in,? Moore said. ?That was real nice to hear. They think I can come in and be that top, shutdown corner.?

I was thinking Moore was primarily a Safety but now it seems both he and Gorman offer some versatility. Hope the Bucks can land one of them.

Rivals$--Rebels in current top two for top safety

Byron says Tennessee and Ole Miss are his leaders with visits to tOSU, Oregon State and LSU still coming.

 

[Buckskin86]

Where does Ohio State stand on your list? Do you have a favorite?

Ohio State is obviously a serious option for me. I had over 20 offers to major schools so to have made my top 5 and get a visit, all these schools are getting a serious in-depth look from me.

Have you spoken to Coach Tressel yet? If so, what did he say to you? If not, who have you spoken to from OSU and what have they told you?

Coach Tressel calls me every week. I think he is the head coach I talk to the most out of all my options. He basically tells me he needs me to come in and be the piece to the defense that will help Ohio State continue their tradition of winning. I also talk to Coach Haynes and he just tells me he will coach me hard and the opportunity to play is there.
