Former IU safety Louis Moore is returning to the Hoosiers in 2025.
That’s according to multiple Saturday morning reports.
Moore spent the 2024 campaign at Ole Miss, where he played 297 snaps in 10 games at free safety. He recorded 33 tackles including two for a loss and a half sack. He dealt with an injury for much of the season.
In 2023 with IU, Moore appeared in all 12 games with ten starts. He posted 83 tackles, three interceptions, for pass break-ups and three forced fumbles. He returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.
He appeared in all 12 games for IU in 2022 in a reserve role and posted nine tackles to go with a forced fumble.
Prior to transferring to IU ahead of the 2022 season, played wide receiver and defensive back at Navarro C.C. He’ll play on the defensive side of the ball for IU.
The Mesquite, Texas product had 48 receptions for 713 yards and five touchdowns over two seasons at Navarro. He added 12 tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup on defense.
Moore will help IU address their biggest need on defense looking ahead to 2025. The Hoosiers must replace starters Shawn Asbury and Terry Jones. Moore will have a good chance to start on the backend alongside his former teammate Amare Ferrell.
Moore has one year of eligibility remaining. He’s played three seasons at Indiana/Ole Miss and two more at junior college. A recent ruling has at least temporarily resulted in junior college seasons not counting against eligibility.
