The University of Calgary Dinos
have secured another player from strong South Delta Sun Devils of South Delta,
BC.
Outside linebacker Charlie Moore
has signed a Canadian Interuniversity Sport Letter of Intent to attend the University of Calgary for the 2016 football season.
The 6’3”, 195 lbs. Moore
becomes the third member from Coach Ray Moon’s Sun Devils joining slotback Jack
McDonald and linebacker Blake Gau who saw action in 2015 as pure freshmen.
McDonald, Gau and Moore were all members of the British Columbia 3A Provincial Championship
team in 2014 under Coach Moon.
“Calgary was close to home (South Delta). I
felt at home during my visit there in December and liked the family atmosphere.
It is a great fit academically. I also have a couple of friends from High
School (Jack McDonald and Blake Gau) on the team,” states Moore who plans to
enrol in the Haskayne School of Business.
Moore was heavily recruited by numerous CIS
schools. He had recruiting visits to Western, Guelph, Simon Fraser and Carleton and decided
on the Dinos just after the New Year and spoke with UBC. In addition to playing
linebacker in High School he also saw action as an inside receiver.
Charlie was a Conference all-star
in 2014 but suffered a shoulder injury in 2015 that limited the number of games
he played. Moore
would have been on the BC Provincial team if he were not injured.
“Charlie is an outstanding
linebacker from an outstanding program at South Delta. He has excellent
instincts for the ball,” states University
of Calgary Head Coach Wayne Harris.
“I look forward to working with him,” Harris added.
Moore
is the son of Chris and Jen Moore.
