Wolverine TV: Breaking down new Michigan LB pledge Hayden Moore

Michigan picked up a verbal commitment from three-star linebacker Hayden Moore shortly following his weekend official visit.

The Aurora (Colo.) Regis Jesuit product sided with Michigan just a day after backing out of his verbal pledge to Nebraska. Moore initially picked the Huskers over the summer.

The Wolverine’s EJ Holland shares his thoughts on Moore and explains how the Wolverines were able to steal him from their Big Ten bunkmate.

Michigan recruited Moore hard this fall, especially after Nebraska parted ways with former head coach Scott Frost. The Wolverines hosted Moore for an unofficial visit earlier this month and again for an official visit before completing the flip.

At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Moore is ranked as the No. 112 linebacker and No. 1,247 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Consensus. He is also ranked as the No. 8 overall prospect in the state of Colorado.

Moore has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.3K with 1,700 combined followers on Instagram and Twitter. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Michigan now has 21 commits in its 2023 recruiting class — On300 offensive lineman Nathan Efobi, On300 offensive tackle Evan Link, On300 EDGE Enow Etta, consensus four-star offensive lineman Amir Herring, four-star running back Cole Cabana, four-star linebacker Semaj Bridgeman, four-star tight end Deakon Tonielli, three-star wide receivers Semaj Morgan and Fredrick Moore, three-star defensive linemen Brooks Bahr and Roderick Pierce, three-star running back Benjamin Hall, three-star EDGE Aymeric Koumba, three-star tight end Zack Marshall, three-star athletes Kendrick Bell, Breeon Ishmail and Jason Hewlett, three-star defensive backs Cameron Calhoun and D’Juan Waller, three-star linebacker Hayden Moore and three-star kicker Adam Samaha.
