Texas WR Joshua Moore dedicates first TD catch to his late brother

When Texas Longhorns freshman wide receiver Joshua Moore stretched his arms in the end zone for a 27-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger early in the third quarter against the USC Trojans to extend a two-point lead, he was focused on the football, but still carrying a scar that he says will never heal.

That’s because his older brother, Quintin, committed suicide more than five years ago.

So on Monday, it was hardly a surprise to see that Moore dedicated the first touchdown of his college career to his late brother:

The 6’1, 170-pounder can’t visit the cemetery before games like he did at Yoakum, but scoring a touchdown in his third collegiate game was surely a suitable substitute for Moore.
