After entering the NCAA transfer portal late last year, former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Joshua Moore, who’s entering his redshirt senior season, announced he was joining the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Yesterday, however, Moore flipped his commitment to the SMU Mustangs, where he’ll play under first-year head coach Rhett Lashlee, formerly the Miami Hurricanes’ offensive coordinator. Here’s what 247Sports had to say about Moore’s flip:
“Moore’s exit from Texas in November came amid rather turbulent circumstances. He was Texas’ third-leading receiver this season with 24 catches for 265 yards and three touchdowns at the time of his transfer, which came not long after Horns247 reported a heated exchange between head coach Steve Sarkisian an the wideout after Moore arrived late to practice. Moore did not start in the Longhorns 30-7 loss at Iowa State on Nov. 7 — it would be his last in a Texas uniform — and was held out of the first quarter en route to finishing with just two catches for 32 yards.”
