Michigan wide receiver Fredrick Moore no longer with program

Michigan Wolverines junior wide receiver Fredrick Moore is no longer with the program, departing Ann Arbor four games into his third season. The news was first reported by Isaiah Hole of Wolverines Wire and confirmed by a team spokesman.

Moore, who logged only 18 snaps at wide receiver this season, preserves his redshirt season by leaving now. He will have two seasons of eligibility with his time at Michigan concluded.

Moore played in 30 games in his career with three starts at wide receiver, headlined by a start in the team’s 16-13 win over Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl last season, catching his first career touchdown with 3 grabs for 37 yards along with 2 rushes for 8 yards. He had 15 catches for 160 yards and a touchdown in his three seasons.

Coming out of high school in St. Louis, Missouri, Moore was a three-star recruit and the No. 556 overall player in the 2023 class, ranking No. 82 at wide receiver according to the Rival Industry Ranking.

The Wolverines come out of the bye week looking for more production at the wide receiver position, with the group logging 11 drops so far this season, per Pro Football Focus. Head coach Sherrone Moore spoke about the situation coming out of the bye during his Monday press conference.

“There’s always competition,” Moore said. “So we’re going to continue the competition through the week and see who the starters are by the end of the week.”

“… Everybody’s leash is the same. You’ve got to go practice well. You’ve got to go make plays in the passing game. You’ve got to run block. You’ve got to make plays in the passing game. You’ve got to do that equally as well. So we’ll just see by the end of the week who the best guys are. That’s Channing [Goodwin], that’s Fred [Moore], that’s Andrew Marsh, that’s Donaven McCulley, that’s Semaj [Morgan], that’s all those guys, Kendrick Bell. So we’re going to continue to see who has the best week and go from there.”
