2018 ATH Moore Breaks Down Offer from OK State and More
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/72767Joshua Moore is a 6’3, 173 pound athlete from Yoakum High School in Texas and has been a prospect gaining high interest from some of the top programs in the Big-12 and surrounding Oklahoma/Texas schools as well.
Oklahoma State is one of those schools that offered in early May, along with Michigan State, Texas A&M, BYU, Baylor, Sam Houston State, SMU, and Kansas (all have offered in the month of May). The Cowboys have been in touch with Moore for a few months now, as both parties have been able to develop a nice relationship.

Recruit Q-and-A
Congratulations on the offer. Would love to hear more about the offer from Oklahoma State, how you heard about it, and first thoughts on it?
“I've been talking to OK state for almost 3 months now, and we've slowly been building our relationship together! And I called Coach Duffie and we had a great conversation. He gave me the news that I had been offered by Oklahoma State University!”
What stands out about the program in your eyes?
“Just their style of play and how they bond with each other! I haven't been up for a visit yet but by just watching their games you can tell that they bond together pretty good it's a brotherhood!
Do you think you will visit the campus sometime?
“I’ll be up there for a visit sometime in the summer.”
What else has been going on with the other schools that have offered and shown strong interest in you?
“Arizona State offered recently, but Washington, Oregon, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Michigan State, TCU, and Texas are all showing strong interest.”
(Texas A&M and Michigan State also offered shortly after we spoke with Moore)
What have they been all talking to you about? What are they liking about you and what you could provide? What are they recruiting you as?
“Lately, we’ve really just been building a relationship, not so much recruitment wise. But they are recruiting me as a wide receiver.”
What other visits do you have planned?
“I plan on visiting Michigan State, Oklahoma, Arizona State, and LSU, as well as Oklahoma State.”
Moore has subsequently released a list of college visits this summer, including LSU, Baylor, Houston, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arizona State, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Michigan, TCU, Texas, Notre Dame, and BYU.
Curious on what are a few things you will be looking for on these visits?
“The thing I will be looking for the most is when I get there, seeing if I can see myself playing at the university in the future. Secondly, meeting the rest of the coaching staff and just an overall great visit.”
Last season, Moore was all over the field for Yoakum High School, passing for 196 yards, rushing for 203 yards, and receiving for 368 yards, scoring six total touchdowns last year.
