Rivals.com Scout.com 24/7Sports St. Thomas Aquinas Ft. Lauderdale, FL RR: Ht: 5'10" Wt: 160 lbs Class: 2018 Ohio State has offered.
Buckeyes offer 4-star WR Ohio State assistant coach, Kerry Coombs, tweeted out Monday morning that he was going to be in South Florida and made it known that he was looking towards the future for Ohio State. While Coombs was in Florida, the Buckeyes sent out the second scholarship of the day to an elite 2018 prospect. Elijah Moore (Fort Lauderdale, Fla. / St. Thomas Aquinas) is a four-star WR and plays football for a program associated with many current, former and future Buckeyes. Moore is currently seen as the ninth best receiver in his class, according to 247Sports, and has seen an influx in schools interested in his talents. Along with the Buckeyes, Moore received an offer from Auburn yesterday. Ohio State and the Tigers join Alabama, Miami, Mississippi State and Tennessee as programs that have offered Moore in the last three months. Miami, is currently seen as the favorite, as he took two visits to the school in April. Moore has yet to visit any other school at this point in his recruitment process and still has two years of high school left before he plays college football. Look for Moore's recruitment to gain much more momentum as he enters his senior year. The move also caught the eye of one of Ohio State's most important targets for the 2017 class, in five-star WR Trevon Grimes (Fort Lauderdale, Fla. / St. Thomas Aquinas).
STAYING AT ST. THOMAS AQUINAS FOR A 2018 WIDE RECEIVER While the Scarlet and Gray were in their South Florida home at St. Thomas, they took the time to extend a new offer to another Raiders' star. Elijah Moore, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound wide receiver ranked as the country's 97th-ranked 2018 prospect added offers from Ohio State and Alabama in a one-hour stretch on Monday night. Moore has 18 offers and appears to be on his way to becoming the next big thing from one of the country's most impressive high school football programs. A different kind of receiver than his teammate Grimes, Moore's game is slot-based and relies on his sub-4.5 speed. The Buckeyes are well-known at St. Thomas and it'd not be a surprise to see them become a key player in Moore's recruitment. The 2018 star transferred to St. Thomas Aquinas in January from Western High School.

Elijah Moore, WR – There may not be a better route-runner in the house than Moore. He took more reps than any other receiver and he competed like this was the Super Bowl. Moore was a tone-setter with his attitude and his play backed it up.
Elijah Moore … The St. Thomas Aquinas standout is on a high school team stacked with talent, but he stood out during Saturday night’s one-on-one drills. If the competition had stopped after the first 30 minutes, Moore might have won the day. Others eventually caught up to him, but he set the tone for the wide receivers, and he did plenty of trash talking along the way. Ole Miss has recently been trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball after Miami took an early lead.
