Always good to get St. Louis players. He must be a very good student too, since he had offers from Army and Navy.

Moore, who has a 3.3 cumulative grade-point average, also received offers from Navy and Army. Moore said he bonded with the UH coaches during last month’s unofficial visit to the Manoa campus.

“They really believed in me,” Moore said. “For them to see me, and offer me, it means a lot.”

Moore is 6 feet and 180 pounds. He was a shutdown cornerback as a sophomore in 2019. The Crusaders’ 2020 season was canceled because of the pandemic.

Lee said Moore can play any position in the secondary. “He’s good,” Lee said. “He can run. He’s rangy. He’s a good cover guy. And he works hard. He’s got good feet. He pursues well. He has good instincts. He has all the things you need as a DB.”

Moore will practice at corner and safety, with his starting spot to be decided after preseason training.

“I feel satisfied. I’m good. I’m happy with my decision,” said Moore, a 6-foot, 180-pound senior. “I decided on Tuesday night with my parents.”

Saint Louis coach Ron Lee is stoked for one of his key senior leaders.

“It’s great for him, well deserved. He’s the only starter we have back. He’s showing terrific leadership. He can play corner, (strong) safety, free safety. He’s got a lot of talent,” Lee said.

Moore got in touch with the Hawaii staff.

“I called my position coach, Trent Figg, and he passed the phone to (head) coach (Todd) Graham and coach (Jacob) Yoro. Coach Figg said I made his day, I’m their first commitment, for it to be from home feels different and they’re ready to get me started,” Moore said.

Initially, he planned to wait until August before making a decision. Hawaii, however, felt right after a visit with the Warriors recently.

Getting kids from the Lou is good...they know how to win, been coached well and played against great competition at practice and games.

Kona is definitely a FS type in college. Lacks the fluid hips for CB and not a heavy hitter, so not SS. He's still growing and obviously that could change his position.
