COLUMBIA, MO. • With one last chance to leave his mark as one of Missouri’s most prolific wide receivers, J’Mon Moore gets to end his college career on a dream platform. It was the senior wideout from Missouri City, Texas, who carried the Texas state flag onto Faurot Field earlier this season to honor his native soil after Hurricane Harvey had flooded parts of the Houston area.
In next Wednesday’s Texas Bowl, Moore will take the field at Houston’s NRG Stadium, barely 10 miles from his hometown neighborhood, and play against his home state’s signature team, the Texas Longhorns (6-6).
