TCU safety and Rhodes Scholar Caylin Moore was saved by football

FORT WORTH -- On the sharp edges of South Central LA, where Caylin Moore comes from, this is the typical male life cycle:

Join a gang. Get a girl pregnant.

Go to prison.

Or at least that's the perspective of Caylin's kid brother, Chase. Easy to see how it could be skewed. Their father, Louis, is in the California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi.

Serving 50 years to life for killing his girlfriend. Their mother, Calynn Taylor-Moore, did the best she could. A remarkable job, actually. But a debilitating case of depression after she was sexually assaulted in a hospital left her bedridden for months.
