FSU cornerback Brandon Moore no longer with team
Florida State cornerback Brandon Moore is no longer with the Seminoles program.
Moore’s departure was first reported by 247Sports and later confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel by an FSU spokesman who said the graduate transfer from UCF was “no longer part of the program.”
The Sanford product announced his decision to transfer to FSU on Jan. 11 after four seasons at UCF where he accounted for 77 tackles and two interceptions in 26 games for the Knights.
Moore suffered an ACL injury in the second half of the 2019 season opener against Florida A&M on Aug. 29 and he was among a handful of UCF players who remained on campus during the summer despite the coronavirus pandemic to continue their rehabilitation work.
He eventually found his way back onto the field as a member of the scout team before announcing his decision to transfer. He joined fellow UCF teammate McKenzie Milton in Tallahassee.
According to the source of the 247Sports report, Moore’s decision to leave was by personal choice.
He was among more than a dozen transfers to join FSU’s roster this offseason along with Milton and several defensive additions, including defensive backs Jammie Robinson (South Carolina) and Jarques McClellion (Arkansas).
