To clear the Air these “Rumors” are totally False. I’m blessed and thankful to be a Bruin. I Love being around this brotherhood! #GoBruins

The freshman quickly turned them down and shared how he is happy being in Los Angeles. 

The rumors that were swirling on social media stated it was regarding his NIL situation and how he would transfer over that. 

Moore wasted no time putting it to bed and even spoke to local reporters to reiterate his happiness. 

“First of all, my thoughts, I’m really glad I came here early,”

Moore said.

‘Coming in probably in the summer or like before fall camp, I know it can really tough to come in … from high school and college is a way different speed. Areas, concepts and everything. So I’m glad I went to spring ball. Spring ball has helped me go through a lot of you know, concepts and feel more comfortable with everything and really just, you know, building that trust within the team.”

This is excellent news for the Bruins. Although I'm sure not too many people believed the rumors, it was necessary for Moore to say something and stand with his football team and university. 

The number three player from the 2023 class was a five-star recruit from Detroit, Michigan, and was the number three overall prospect this past season. 

He's happy in LA, and we cannot wait to see him ball out in blue and gold.
