MEMPHIS -- A few pounds lost for Herbert Moore may win over a few more college recruiters.
The defensive tackle from Memphis East told ESPN he weighed 323 pounds this week. He's been listed as high as 335. If the 6-foot-2 junior prospect can get to his goal weight of 310, he'll likely improve in the two main areas he's determined to -- speed and point of attack.
That could take Moore, who already has scholarship offers from Clemson, North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Purdue, Ole Miss and Illinois, up a notch for college coaches that would like to see his body mature just a bit. Then, the next wave of scholarships will come rolling in.
