Eriq Moore’s Redhawks legacy: ball-hawking safety with captain’s DNA
Eriq Moore is a former Southeast Missouri State safety who built his reputation as a tough, instinctive playmaker: in his career he recorded 178 tackles, 8 interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries, and 3 forced fumbles, and he was twice voted a team captain after walking on and earning a scholarship. His differentiators were leadership, durability, and a nose for turnovers, with standout seasons that included 3 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries in 2014 and 4 interceptions in 10 starts in 2016. If you value a safety who brings swagger, accountability, and real takeaway juice, he’s your kind of guy.
