Georgia Southern guard Tyren Moore enters NCAA transfer portal

Georgia Southern guard Tyren Moore has entered the NCAA transfer portal according to On3’s Joe Tipton.

Moore spent the first two seasons of his college career at Moberly Area Community College in Missouri where he averaged 12.6 points and 2.3 rebounds per game as a freshman and 13.3 points, 5.8 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game in his sophomore season. In his freshman year, he shot 49% from the field and 46% from the three-point line, going off for a career-high 41 points versus Tyson Prep and making 128 total three-pointers in his two seasons with the Greyhounds.

He made the jump from the junior college level to Division I ahead of the 2022 season, transferring to Georgia Southern where he made in immediate impact. Where he was just one of two players to appear in all 33 games in his junior season making 11 starts.

In 2022 he averaged 9.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game for the Eagles before taking a leap in his breakout senior year last season. Leading Georgia Southern in points, assists, and steals per game in the 2023-2024 season to earn himself All-Sun Belt Second-Team honors.

His 17 points per game were a career-high and ranked third in the Sun Belt this past season, shooting an efficient 46.8% from the field and 40.6% from the three-point line. Adding 3.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game to his stat line in a year where five of his 12 20+ point scoring games eclipsed the 30-point mark.

Moore played high school basketball at Louisville Male High School in Kentucky where he was an unranked, unrated prospect in the 2020 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Moore worked his way up the college ranks and will look to continue doing so as he seeks out another program to end his college career. He’s shown consistent improvement throughout every step of the way in his career, and what he lacks in size standing at 5-foot-11, he makes up for in experience and scoring ability. Proving himself as an efficient overall scorer, a weapon from behind the arc, and a player that can get hot in a hurry and take over a game on any given day.
