Pride running back charges towards the end zone as the Bulldogs attempt to stop it.
Jul 18, 2008
Southeast Raleigh head football coach Daniel Finn confirmed for WRAL Friday evening that rising junior linebacker Kendall Moore had received an offer from the N.C. State Wolfpack.
According to a report on Rivals.com, the offer is a verbal offer, and Wolfpack defensive coordinator Mike Archer told Moore that he will have the offer in writing by September.
Moore comes in at 6-foot-3, 230-pounds, and he recorded a 4.68 forty time in his last combine appearance.
"He has a great package with size, speed and strength," Finn said. "He has a tremendous upside with 2 more years to develop in strength and speed. He his tough to block when he rushes off the edge."
Last season, Moore recorded 110 tackles and one interception. The interception was returned 35 yards for a touchdown, and he also forced two fumbles.
N.C. State is the only offer Moore has right now, but it isn't the only school trying to make contact with him. In the Rivals.com report, Moore said that he has talked a lot to North Carolina and Maryland.
Former teammate Demetrius Hartsfield will play football at Maryland in the fall. Hartsfield was a member of Southeast Raleigh's Class of 2008. Finn told WRAL that Moore will visit Maryland on Wednesday.
"I am sure he will have more offers soon," Finn added. "He is very excited and I know his parents would love to see him play close to home."
Moore told Rivals.com that location isn't a big factor, but admitted he would like his parents to be able to watch him play.
