Naples’ Devin Moore leaves Notre Dame after Brian Kelly leaves

Publisher’s Note: This story is being updated …

Given the latest news, one of Southwest Florida’s most sought-after candidates is back in the college coach market.

Naples defender Devin Moore announced his resignation from Notre Dame on Tuesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after Irish head coach Brian Kelly announced his departure from LSU on a 10-year $ 95 million deal.

“I would like to thank the coaches and fans of Notre Dame for believing in me and welcoming me into their family,” Moore wrote in a statement on his Instagram and Twitter accounts. “Choosing a college is a big decision and there are many factors.” I feel like I need more time to figure out what suits me best.

“After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to leave Notre Dame and resume my recruiting. I will take this time to reevaluate my options and see what is best for my future. I appreciate your patience and support as I complete my recruiting journey. “

Moore has been a bailout throughout his time in Naples, ending that season with four fumble recoveries. He didn’t pick up any passes because the high corner defensively took away half the field.

In his career he had 10 interceptions and five fumble recoveries. The Golden Eagles were 39-7 during his four college seasons.

Coincidentally, Florida Gators cornerback coach and Naples High graduate Jules Montinar, The Naples Daily News Defensive Player of the Year in 2002, paid a visit to Moore on Monday, just at the time the news was leaked, that Kelly would leave Notre Dame for LSU.

When reached by the Naples Daily News, Moore said he didn’t have time to talk at the moment.
