A Smithson Valley product, Moore set UTSA's single-season sacks record during his three-year run in the program before electing to transfer to Texas.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian pondered the possibility of pulling linebacker Trey Moore aside for a one-on-one chat, but he knows he probably doesn’t need to. Many players in Moore’s position might feel elevated pressure or emotional stakes this week. No. 2 Texas is preparing to host UTSA at 6 p.m. Saturday, meaning Moore will line up against the school where he set a single-season program record with 14 sacks in 2023, earning American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors.
looking to regroup after lopsided loss at Texas State Through Moore’s initial months at Texas, he’s embodied the same confident, professional and relentless approach that once made him a leader at UTSA. Sarkisian learned quickly that Moore is not the type to need any reassurances. “He’s not the most emotional guy,” Sarkisian said. “He has a really good head on his shoulders. He’s focused on what he needs to do. He doesn’t really get caught too much into the stuff going on around him.
This is kind of what we do now' — For Texas, dominance the new normal After playing alongside Moore in UTSA’s front seven for three years, UTSA defensive lineman Asyrus Simon said he wishes the best for Moore's time with the Longhorns, though the two haven’t kept in touch. As for this weekend’s matchup, the stakes are unchanged. “Same emotions. Nothing too different,” Simon said. “Another team, another opportunity. So, that’s all it is, for real.
looking to regroup after lopsided loss at Texas State While Sarkisian acknowledged that any player in Moore’s shoes will face an adjustment to the higher level of competition at Texas, he praised Moore for bringing toughness and physicality to the Longhorns’ front. “I know the sacks aren’t just flying off the board right now, but he’s playing really good football,” Sarkisian said. “Two games in a row, people are trying to run the ball at him, and he’s holding the point.
