Former Tennessee QB Gaston Moore was the first to leave at that position for the Volunteers back in December. Now, nearly seven months later, he has officially ended up elsewhere for next season.

Moore has signed with USF from the NCAA Transfer Portal. That comes per reporting by On3’s Pete Nakos on Tuesday.

Moore has spent five seasons in college with one year with no games played as a redshirt at UCF before following Josh Heupel and spending the past four with Tennessee. He would appear in 14 games with the Volunteers with no starts.

As a reserve in Knoxville, Moore would be 26-44 (59.1%) for 273 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Most of that came last year as the backup to QB Nico Iamaleava, playing in the most games of his career with six as he posted 59.3% completion for 201 yards, the two touchdowns, and a pair of the picks.

Moore is a native of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He played his high school football there and came out as part of the 2020 recruiting cycle.

In returning to play in college in the state of Florida, Moore has committed to play for Alex Golesh, who was a co-offensive coordinator for him at UCF and his offensive coordinator for two seasons at Tennessee. Golesh has since been 14-12 (.538) through two seasons as head coach of the Bulls with a pair of high-rated offenses so far in Tampa. That said, as far as Moore, he will be joining a quarterback room that does return each of last year’s starters at the position in Bryce Archie and Byrum Brown.

Moore was the last of the 22 transfers for the Vols to still be uncommitted elsewhere in the portal. That reportedly changed this morning with his signing to play for a familiar face down at South Florida.
