Tre Moore - Weiss - Wide Receiver
Tre Moore is a 4-star 2027 Wide Receiver at Weiss from Pflugerville, TX. Ranked No. 166 nationally and No. 26 among WRs with a 91.58 On3 industry rating.
Yeah, I didn't know he was that short. The WR is listed at 6'2" and looks like a giant next to Coach Pauley. Could also be the player is taller than his listed height.
I was never confident in keeping him since he committed. Pretty surprising to see him close being back in the fold. Good sign for the new staff.
I wasn’t either, but he kept popping up at PSU long after the rumors that he wasn’t fully onboard. I saw him walking through tailgates last fall. The fact that he is open to the new staff tells me he has genuine interest in PSU otherwise that ship would have completely sailed. I will say this though. This type of recruit expects to play right away, so the rumor of him reclassing to this years recruiting class doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me since the RB room seems pretty well stocked right now.
Whether he plays a lot or not, it does start his NFL clock a year earlier, so it would make sense from that angle.
If he (or anyone as highly ranked as him) come in early and don’t play, you can bet they hit the portal, in this environment, after their freshman season
Malakai Taufoou - Junipero Serra - Safety
Malakai Taufoou is a 3-star 2027 Safety at Junipero Serra from San Mateo, CA. Ranked No. 478 nationally and No. 46 among Ss with an 88.40 On3 industry rating.
He’ll play right away, and if he’s as good as it looks, he’ll win a starting role. Teams use multiple running backs a game. He’ll be one of them. It’ll be someone else who transfers.
If he commits and re-classifies to play next year, I’ll be shocked if he’s not playing.
I, too, thought this ship had sailed. If they manage to sign him it will be one hell of a coup. There has been some chatter that he is trying to reclassify for next year, and this may be part of the equation, but I have no way to confirm this.
Yeah, Stocked or not, everyone else will sit behind him, get their checks and sub in when needed and leave next year. He is not sitting on any bench.
That is the word on the street. We shall see how this unfolds.
