Texas EDGE Trey Moore ‘Wowing’ With First-Round Ability, Says NFL Scout
AUSTIN — Texas Longhorns pass-rusher Trey Moore is surrounded with tons of anticipation as he enters his first season in Austin.
The UTSA transfer was one of the best defensive players in college football last season en route to winning the 2023 American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year after finishing with 14 sacks, However, some have questioned if Moore will be able to make a smooth transition to SEC.
But according to one NFL draft scout, Moore has been shining in training camp by showing off his first-round ability while simultaneously brushing off any of the outside doubt.
ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller revealed on X (Twitter) Thursday that Moore has been “wowing” the Texas coaching staff this offseason.
“Hearing very good things about Texas pass-rusher Trey Moore–who transferred in from UTSA,” Miller tweeted. “Expectations in Austin are double-digit sacks. Have heard they think he’s a potential first or second round draft pick. Early word is he’s wowed this staff that saw two top 50 picks last year.”
When speaking to the media Thursday via Zoom, Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks revealed that Moore has been one of the toughest pass-rushers he’s had to block this offseason. Considering that Banks is expected to be a top-10 pick in the 2025 draft, this speaks volumes to the talent that Moore possesses.
Banks also shared a story from earlier this summer where Moore, who stands at 6-3, 245 pounds, showed off his strength in the weight room while doing bench press.
“We were lifting, and I think it was the second summer session, and Trey Moore, you would not think he is as strong as he is, but that man, he can lift some weights, man,” Banks said. “He’s very strong, very powerful and it show on the field as well. … “I think it was like (400 pounds) or (500) or somewhere around there, and he did it. He did it pretty easily, so it was eye-opening.”
A product of Smithson Valley High School and San Antonio, Moore had just one tackle as a freshman at UTSA but burst onto the scene as a junior last season, as his 14 sacks were the third-most in FBS. He also posted 45 total tackles, three passes defended, one forced fumble and an interception.
No. 4 Texas begins the regular season at home against Colorado State on Saturday, Aug. 31. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT.
J.J. Spaun is now a two-time winner of the Valero Texas Open.
The 2025 U.S. Open champion made an eagle on the par-4 17th hole to move to 17 under, good enough for a one-shot win. He also won the Texas Open at TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course in 2022.
With the win, he takes home $1.764 million and heads into the Masters with plenty of momentum.

EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — Epilepsy patients in El Paso will now be able to access the highest level of specialized care without leaving the region after Texas Tech Health El Paso and its academic hospital partner, University Medical Center of El Paso, earned a top national certification.
The National Association of Epilepsy Centers certified the joint program as a Level 4 Epilepsy Center on Friday, April 3. A Level 4 Epilepsy Center represents the highest level of care for patients with epilepsy, offering the most advanced diagnostic and treatment options, including complex surgical interventions. The designation is the first of its kind for the Borderplex.
Sushma Reddy Yerram, M.D., a neurologist with Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso and an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at the Foster School of Medicine, shared that this certification means avoiding long-distance travel for their patients.
“With this designation, our epilepsy patients can receive the most advanced medical and surgical care close to home—eliminating the need to travel elsewhere,” Yerram said.
Before the certification, patients from El Paso and their families had to travel to Albuquerque, Phoenix, Dallas, Austin or San Antonio to receive level 4 of epilepsy care. Staying in El Paso means patients can remain close to their support systems of family and friends while receiving advanced care.
Texas Tech Health El Paso President Richard Lange, M.D., M.B.A., shared his pride in the efforts involved.
“This milestone reflects an extraordinary collaborative effort, and I’m incredibly proud of the team whose dedication made this historic achievement possible,” Lange said.
