FOUNTAIN — It’s the first week of August and DeAndre Moore Jr. is at peace.
It’s how the Southern California native feels every year at this time.
“For me, this is the best time of the year,” Moore said.
“I love football so much, so when it’s nothing but football, I’m at home.
I’m at peace.”
It doesn’t matter the fourth-year wide receiver is entering his first season in Deion Sanders’ Colorado program or that he and his Buffaloes teammates are away from Boulder and in the Colorado Springs area for the first week of fall camp.
The Texas transfer feels like himself.
“(There’s) not too many places around the country where you can go into the building and be yourself.
Sometimes you’ve got to walk on eggshells around certain coaches or certain people won’t talk to you.
It’s not like that here,” Moore said.
“It’s a real family, a real brotherhood, a real bond.
The coaches are men building men and they’re treating you as such.”
Moore has taken the same attitude toward his new teammates, too.
While an injury kept him off the field in the spring, Moore became one of the leaders of a new-look wide receiver room after arriving on campus.
It helped that Moore had a reputation as a productive player from his time with the Longhorns, totaling nearly 1,000 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns the last two seasons.
But part of the reason he transferred to CU was because he wanted to help Coach Prime’s program develop a culture of winning.

“My role is however I can help the team win, that’s what I’m here for,” Moore said.
“If I gotta go down on punt (coverage) and make an impact, that’s what I’m gonna do.
If I gotta go stick my nose in there and block for (the running backs), that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.
Whatever I can do to help the team, that’s my job.”
The Buffs coaching staff has seen as much.
Offensive coordinator Brennan Marion originally recruited Moore to Texas in 2022 when he was on staff as the wide receivers coach.
“He’s just family.
From the first day that we met, we just hit it off,” Marion said.
“It’s not just him, it’s his entire family.
I’m glad that he’s on our team because he knows how to lead, he knows how to win.
Every team that kid’s been on, they’ve been a winner.
“Receivers can lead as well and he’s one of those guys that he’s a team guy, he’s gonna try to play every special team, he’s gonna try to do everything right.
He’s gonna show up every day, he’s gonna work hard and he’s gonna say something if he sees something.
“If you want to actually be a leader, you have to have confrontational moments, at times and tell your teammates, ‘You’re out of line.’
He’s done that every single day that he’s been here and everybody’s excited to have him in our program.”
No one more so than Marion, who should be able to plug Moore into various spots on his “GoGo” offense and expect him to know what is asked of him.
Marion ran a similar scheme with the Longhorns and coach Steve Sarkisian.
“It wasn’t that big of a learning gap for me, so I can just jump in and know how to run the routes already,” Moore said.
“It was more so just getting through that injury.
Just rehabbing every single day, making sure I’m on top of my stuff, making sure I’m getting that extra film because I’m not out there.
The coaches did a tremendous job of helping me navigate that.”

With four weeks until the season opener at Georgia Tech, Moore wants to help guide his young quarterback, freshman Julian Lewis, as Lewis takes the reins of the Buffs offense in 2026.
Lewis hopes to reach the level of the other quarterbacks Moore has played with during his college career.
“I got to see a lot of great quarterbacks at Texas,” Moore said.
“Arch (Manning) was phenomenal.
(Lewis) has similar characteristics to Quinn Ewers as to how he throws the football.
I’ve seen what it takes to get to the next level, so my job here is to push that further and (Lewis) has been soaking it up.”
