A dominant playmaker, Trey Moore has made a huge impact on the field for the Longhorns while defining himself as an outstanding leader in the community. The San Antonio, Texas, native becomes the 14th NFF National Scholar-Athlete from Texas, joining teammate and 2024 honoree Jake Majors.
A 2023 CSC Second Team Academic All-American and two-time CSC Academic All-District honoree, Moore was named Texas' Spring 2025 Team Academic MVP and earned 2024 SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition. A transfer from UTSA, he was a two-time CUSA Academic Medal recipient and a member of the commissioner's honor roll. On track to graduate in December 2025 with a degree in physical culture and sports, Moore plans to pursue postgraduate studies in business management.
Thus far in 2025, Moore has totaled 20 tackles and is third on the team with 3.5 tackles for loss and tied for second with two sacks, helping Texas (5-2) rank No. 22 in the AP Poll. With Moore as one of its leaders, the Texas defense ranks third in the FBS in scoring defense (11.3), fifth in rushing defense (83.3), sixth in fourth-down conversion percentage defense (.250), eighth in kickoff return defense (14.00), 12th in passes intercepted (9), 11th in red zone defense (0.727), 12th in team sacks, (3.00), and 12th in turnovers gained (13).
In his first season with the Longhorns (2024), Moore started every game and tallied 36 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries—leading the team in both categories. Before joining Texas, he was the 2023 American Conference Defensive Player of the Year at UTSA, where he set school records for sacks (14) and tackles for loss (18) and earned FWAA Freshman All-America honors in 2022.
A game captain multiple times, Moore helped Texas to a 13-3 record and No. 4 final ranking in 2024, appearing in the SEC Championship Game and reaching the College Football Playoff semifinals after winning the Peach Bowl in the CFP first round. He previously helped lead UTSA to a 20-7 record, the 2022 Conference USA title, and the 2023 Frisco Bowl victory.
Off the field, Moore has volunteered with the San Antonio Food Bank, Hungry Souls Austin, Hope Food Pantry, and Dell Children's Hospital while participating in events with the Down Syndrome Association of Austin.
