Breaking: Top FCS tight end Briley Moore enters the transfer portal
We are hearing that Briley Moore the Northern Iowa tight end has entered the transfer portal. It is true, Moore just posted this on Twitter.
Last year, Moore was considered a top tight end in the 2020 NFL Draft, and even made the Senior Bowl watch list.
After a season lost to a shoulder injury, the 6-foot-4, 250-pound could be looking to find an FBS school. He had a great couple years for the Panthers.
It was 2017, when Moore broke through. He played in 13 games but ended up becoming the starter playing in nine games. He caught 38 passes for 494 yards which was the most receptions by a tight end this decade for the Panthers.
In 2018, Moore went bananas! Moore became the most productive receiver for the Panthers in 2018. He recorded a team-high 536 yards and four touchdowns on 36 receptions. He torched North Dakota State for 96 yards and a touchdown. Moore was also named All-Missouri Conference First Team.
Briley Moore will likely solidify himself as a top tight end in the 2021 NFL Draft, if he can find a team that gives him playing time. If he goes to a team that will not play him, it will kill his stock.
