Recruiting: Former LSU defensive end Travez Moore to Arizona State

The college football transfer portal is alive and active on a daily and even hourly basis. There are names being added constantly and new unions being formed. It’s the lost and found of college football.

Former LSU defensive end Travez Moore has decided to enroll at Arizona State where the 3-3-5 alignment is more to his liking. He felt he would fit in Dave Aranda’s three-man front last season but the Tigers’ switch to a 4-3 front made his talents less of a fit.

Moore, a former Bastrop High standout, entered the portal after two contests in 2020 following a positive test for COVID-19 during the offseason. He made seven appearances for the Tigers since his arrival in 2018 when he was granted a redshirt season. His high point was three tackles against Northwestern State last season.

The 6-5, 246-pound Moore was highly touted as the top ranked weakside JUCO end in 2017 after two seasons at Copiah Lincoln. Upon arrival at LSU, he was hailed as the next potential Arden Key.

College football is relationship driven. Depending on the new offensive and defensive coordinators, a potential transfer may see a school to his liking based on scheme and possible role in it.
