Moorman was an important piece in helping kick off the 2023 recruiting class last fall. He was a vocal recruiter for the program and consistently visited campus whenever possible for gameday trips, but the two sides have ultimately decided to part ways. Moorman does note in his decommitment tweet that a return to Kentucky is not off the table.
During the 2022 season, Moorman has been dealing with nagging injuries that have slowed down his production for Franklin County High School. The 5-foot-10, 205-pound power back has still managed 244 rushing yards and five touchdowns in just five games played for the 4-4 Flyers.
With Moorman back on the market, UK now has 14 total commits for the ’23 class, four of which are in-state prospects. Three-star Khalifa Keith out of Alabama is now the lone running back commit of the group, however, the staff has continued to survey its options for future ball carriers, including three-star tailback Jamarion Wilcox out of South Paulding (GA), who was in Lexington last weekend for a visit.
