TAMPA, Fla. -- As Steve Spurrier remembers it, Vanderbilt was Skai Moore’s second choice in recruiting. Skai Moore says it was actually South Carolina.
“I was committed to Rutgers before here,” Moore said Wednesday after the Gamecocks finished their Outback Bowl practice at Jesuit High School. “This was really my second choice. I took a visit up there (to Piscataway, N.J., to tour Rutgers), and it was snowing and too cold for me, and I couldn’t do it.”
So Moore ended up in Columbia and five years later he’s preparing for the final game of one of college football’s most quietly decorated careers.
