Elijah Moore was a highly touted recruit who attended one of the preeminent high school football factories in America, St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Moore was a four star prospect who ultimately chose Ole Miss over Georgia, taking his talents to Oxford.
Moore earned significant playing time as a true freshman. Alongside the likes of D.K. Metcalf, A.J. Brown and DaMarkus Lodge, an 18 year-old Moore logged 36 receptions for 398 yards and two touchdowns. In his first career start, he set Ole Miss freshman single-game records for receptions (11) and yards (129) in a win over South Carolina.
