Snorsio Alston "Sio" Moore (born May 2, 1990) is an American football linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played college football at Connecticut.[1]

Early years

Moore was born in Liberia in West Africa, and moved to the New Haven, Connecticut area when he was a child.[2] He attended Apex High School in Apex, North Carolina, where he was a letterman in football and track. He played football as a linebacker, running back and fullback. He earned All-area and All-Tri Seven Football League honors as a fullback and linebacker as a senior.

Prior to signing with Connecticut, Moore made a visit to their summer camp in Storrs, where he was timed at 4.54 in the 40-yard dash, 4.41 in the short shuttle, had a 38.5-inch (99 cm) vertical jump, broad jumped 10-foot-2 (3.13 m) and ran the 100-meter dash in 11.1 seconds.[3]

Regarded only as a two-star prospect grade by both Rivals.com and Scout.com, Moore was ranked No. 50 among the nation’s weak-side linebackers. He signed his national letter of intent to attend Connecticut on July 12, 2007.[4]

College career

While attending the University of Connecticut, he played for the Connecticut Huskies football team from 2008 to 2012.[1] During his college career he totaled 274 tackles, 16 quarterback sacks and four interceptions.[1] Following his senior season in 2012, he was a first-team All-Big East Conference selection, and was invited to play in both the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl.[1]
