UT Longhorns Secure Top Edge Rusher Trey Moore

TLDR: The University of Texas football team has recently acquired a significant addition to their defense by signing Trey Moore, an exceptional edge rusher previously with the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Moore is recognized as the number one edge rusher available in the transfer portal according to On3 ratings. During this past season, he impressively notched 45 tackles, 17.5 of which were for a loss, along with 14 sacks. Moore’s entrance into the Texas Longhorns is timely, as the team is looking to reinforce its defensive line, particularly following the success and potential NFL draft departure of standout T’Vondre Sweat. The transfer of Trey Moore is complemented by the recruitment of five-star high school prospect Collin Simmons. The Longhorns are tactically positioning themselves with robust defensive capabilities in anticipation of the heightened competition accompanying their impending move to the Southeastern Conference (SEC).


The Texas Longhorns’ football program is heartily reinforcing its defensive front with the acquisition of Trey Moore, a commanding edge rusher from UTSA. Coach Steve Sarkisian has artfully orchestrated this strategic move, making Moore the third transfer player to join the Longhorns since the off-season commenced.

A native Texan and product of Smithson Valley High School, Moore originally entered the collegiate realm covertly as an unrated recruit. His stellar performance this past year, however, spotlighted his prodigious talent on the field. Moore’s statistical achievements, including an imposing 45 tackles and 14 sacks, fired a strong statement about his capability in quarterback pressure and defensive tenacity.

This latest commitment addresses a tangible need for Texas, as the duo of T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy II within the defensive line core had been the primary source of quarterback disruption. Transitioning to the Longhorns, Moore’s skills on the edge will significantly fortify the pass rush, a critical component in the aggressive defense scheme favored by the program.

The Longhorns have also warmly welcomed Collin Simmons, a five-star edge rusher from Duncanville High School, further solidifying the pass rush arsenal. These acquisitions are forward-looking, with the University of Texas preparing for the escalated challenges it will face upon joining the intense SEC battlegrounds in 2024.

The Longhorns community is positively animated, envisioning the enhanced defense that Moore, alongside Simmons and other talents, will contribute to. With considerable fanfare and focus on building a formidable team, the University of Texas is gearing up to ascend not just in conference rankings but also in national standing in the forthcoming seasons.
