Koy Moore is a free agent and the Nebraska football team could be looking to take advantage. The wide receiver out of Louisiana announced on Sunday night that he was decommitting from USC and completely opening up his recruiting. The 4-star 2020 prospect is one that the Nebraska football team would almost surely love to land and it might be a situation where there's no time like the present to try and snap up a kid who is smarting a bit.
Nebraska football about to join the fray?
The degree of difficulty here is that the Huskers had not been talking much at all to Moore before he decided he no longer wanted to be headed to USC.
A product of Metairie, LA, the receiver has largely been getting recruited by SEC area schools. That stands out when you consider that USC and Oregon were the only two schools that have offered the talented player outside of his home region.

Is this a situation where Moore has made it very clear he doesn't want to travel away from home? According to the player, that wasn't the reason he decided to decommit. "My relationship with the coaching staff became strained with the coaching changes. I enjoyed my time as a #FightOn commitment, I love USC but the recruitment is not up to my expectations. I would like to re-open my recruitment." He captioned the post "no interviews," so it's going to be a little while until we find out just what he meant with those comments.
Receiver position has been key in 2020 recruiting
The Nebraska football staff has made no secret about the fact they are looking to juice up the receiver position, especially when talking about the 2020 class. Going after players like Troy Omeire shows the Cornhuskers are not shy about gunning for the best players in the class at the position.
That lack of shyness would seem to translate to making a run for Koy Moore.
The Archbishop Rummel product is currently listed as the ninth best player in the state of Louisiana and the 36th best receiver in the class, according to 247Sports composite. ratings. That's good enough to expect the Huskers will indeed look to see if they can get their foot in the door at the very least.
Because of the region he's located and what his recruiting profile has looked like so far, most recruiting experts are expecting Moore to turn his attention to a team like LSU. The Nebraska football coaching staff does have a bit of an ace in the hole in that they have been recruiting the SEC region hard since they arrived in Lincoln. Certainly harder than other teams in the Big 10.
