Kansas State added a tight end over the weekend in the form of graduate transfer Briley Moore.
Moore arrives via Northern Iowa, where he was an All-Missouri Valley performer as a junior. He snared 38 passes for 494 yards as a sophomore in 2017, then brought in 36 grabs for a team-high 536 yards in 2018.
Moore redshirted in 2019 after suffering a shoulder injury in UNI’s close loss at Iowa State in the opener.

Moore hails from Blue Springs, Mo., and is familiar to a number of his new teammates. His addition earned the instant endorsement of his new quarterback, Skylar Thompson.

Thompson did not throw to his tight ends often last season; Nick Lenners and Samuel Wheeler caught only 17 passes last season, half the production Moore posted at UNI.
Bet on that to change in 2020.
