DaMarco Moorer safety from Riverside City College (Riverside, CA.); originally from Arcadia, CA. with 3 to play 2.
With Moorer and Sinclair, we got two of the very best JC safeties from California. Both made the California Community College All-State First Team. That's saying a lot because there are about 70 JCs in California that play football.
Top JC defensive back commits to Warriors By Stephen Tsai Today Updated 12:16 am
The University of Hawaii football team has secured a commitment from one of the top junior college defensive backs in California.
DaMarco “Nu-Nu” Moorer of Riverside City College told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser he has accepted a scholarship offer from the Rainbow Warriors. Moorer will put his commitment in writing on Wednesday, the first day of the spring-semester signing period for football prospects.
Moorer said he will earn an associate degree this spring and join the Warriors in June. He said he will have three years to play two UH seasons.
“When I went on the visit, it just felt like home,” Moorer said. “I met with all the coaches and all the players. I can see some great things at Hawaii.”
Moorer, who is 6 feet 1 and 185 pounds, was named to the California Community College Football Coaches Association’s 2022 first team. CCCFCA first-team players are considered junior college All-Americans.
Moorer led California community colleges with nine interceptions. He also made 50 tackles, including 35 solo stops, broke up five passes and amassed 4.5 tackles for loss.
Riverside City went 12-1, with its only loss in the state championship game against College of San Mateo.
Moorer said he also received offers from Louisiana Tech, Akron, New Mexico State and Eastern Illinois.
He is projected to compete at safety for the Warriors. “Hopefully, I can return kicks, too,” Moorer said. “I can make something happen with the ball.”
Moorer said he received his unique nickname because he was a first-born son. “I was the newest baby to the family, so they started calling me ‘Nu-Nu,’ ” he said.

I'm sure he'll be a nice pick up but that's 8 DBs for this year and one more grayshirting for next year. I hope we're done with DBs for this year.
Based on Coach Abe's previous tweet, still expecting UH to pursue a HS corner (presumably Deliyon Freeman being targeted) to join 3 new corners (Brown, Stone, Wilson-Jones) with only 3 scholie returnees (Edwards, Forest, King) on the Fall roster.....however hopefully UH is done with recruiting safeties/NBs since will now have 5 new safeties/NBs (Meyer, Moorer, Palmer, Sinclair, Williams) on the Fall roster with at least 5 scholie returnees (Makaula, Manuma, Moore, Pei, Thompson) but possibly 2 more (Barnes & Bell). https://twitter.com/abe_elimimian/status/1608531614128275458
Probably is NCAA qualified as a JUCO transfer (with AA & minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA).....but probably didn't pass a core class with the necessary grade needed to get admitted to UH.

Props to him for owning it publicly. Character goes a long way.
Summer decommits or switches are almost always admissions issues.
I was very eager to see him and St Clair contribute, but it wasn't meant to be. Wish the young man the best. I hope he learns from this scenario and makes the most of things wherever he lands.
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do.
