While at Western Michigan, Moore played behind Chukwuma Okorafor, who was drafted himself by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 3rd round (92nd overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft. Okorafor helped Moore's transition from defensive to offensive line. Said Moore about his time with Okorafor, "He taught me a lot. Just watching him, I feel like I'm more comfortable to have seen what he's done and where he's at now, and everything that he's taught me as far as understanding coverages, understanding spacing and just getting to the right spots at the right time."
Moore was invited and attended the 2021 Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL. He, along with former WMU teammate D'Wayne Eskridge (pictured below), were part of the National Team. Moore and Eskridge will see each other twice a year as Eskridge was drafted in the 2nd round (56th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.
