UCF linebacker Kam Moore to redshirt, enter transfer portal

UCF linebacker Kam Moore plans to redshirt this season and enter the transfer portal.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Moore announced his decision on social media Monday night.

“I would like to thank the whole UCF community welcoming me with open arms and giving me the chance to further my education. I would also like to thank Coach Malzahn and the staff for allowing me to step in between the white lines for UCF to pursue my life long dream of playing in the NFL,” Moore said in a post.

The Sanford High product appeared in 23 games (1 start) during his three seasons with the Knights, registering 23 tackles with 2 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a pass defended. Moore appeared in three games this season, totaling 2 tackles.

He becomes the latest player to announce their intention of utilizing the NCAA redshirt rule, which allows a player to sit out a season after four games, keeping their year of eligibility. Receiver Xavier Townsend, kicker Colton Boomer, offensive lineman Wes Dorsey, defensive end Kaven Call and safeties William Wells and Bryon Threats also redshirted with plans to transfer.

He becomes the 14th player from UCF’s 2022 recruiting class to transfer.

Moore was among 25 local players considered ‘Hometown Heroes‘ who signed with the program over the past few seasons.
