Tarvarius Moore

CB/ST, FS · Southern Miss
: A no-star athlete recruit out of high school, Tarvarius (Tuh-various) Moore was a three-year starting safety at Quitman, helping lead the team to three straight Class 4A South State championship games. Despite earning Second Team all-state honors, he went overlooked by college programs with only one Division-I scholarship offer (FCS-level Alcorn State). Moore had the grades for Division-I, but elected to enroll at Pearl River Community College where he played for two seasons. He received more attention from FBS programs this time around and was considered a three-star JUCO recruit. Moore received offers from power-five programs like Louisville and Kansas, but Southern Miss was closer to home. He was worked into the safety rotation as a junior in 2016 and tied for the team-lead with two interceptions despite not starting a game. Moore took over the starting free safety duties as a senior and emerged as one of the better defensive backs in Conference USA.
