A.J. Storms was named to the CFPA Linebackers watch list and
David Harrington was named to the Punters Watch List in the last month.
As a kickoff returner, Moore scored two touchdowns on kick returns last season. He became the first player in Big Sky history to return a kickoff and punt return back for a touchdown in the same game in two different contests. His first kickoff and punt return touchdown game was against Northern Colorado where he set a school record for all-purpose yards with 318 with a 91-yard kickoff return touchdown and an 81-yard punt return touchdown.
Then, against Montana he broke his own record with 323 all-purpose yards, including a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown and an 84-yard punt return touchdown. At the end of the season he earned First Team All-Conference honors and was named first team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association as well as the AP All-American team. In addition, he was named to the third-team Sports Network All-American team.
As the 2011 season approaches the CFPA will release a preseason watch list each week until July 18 when they announce the Punt Returner watch list.
