Michigan Officially Announces Addition Of New Offensive Coach

Formally with Central Michigan, Sherrone Moore will head Michigan’s TE unit moving forward:

He was selected and participated in the inaugural 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute sponsored by the American Football Coaches Association at their January convention.

Moore mentored the Chippewas tight ends the past four seasons (2014-17) and added the duties of assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator during the 2017 season.

Moore’s tight-end corps produced at a high level during his time in Mount Pleasant. A tight-end trio accounted for 48 catches for 617 yards in 2014, with the group helping a ground game that averaged 155.2 yards per game and saw Thomas Rawls gain more than 1,100 rushing yards.

In 2015, Moore led a group that included second-team All-MAC performer Ben McCord, who caught 39 passes for 612 yards and five touchdowns, and led the team with an average of 15.7 yards per reception. McCord’s 612 receiving yards ranked sixth among all FBS tight ends and his 10-catch performance at Syracuse set a school record for a tight end.

Moore’s 2016 tight-end corps was led by Tyler Conklin. Conklin grabbed 42 passes for 560 yards and six touchdowns. He earned the John Mackey Tight End of the Week Award in September after a two-TD catch performance at Oklahoma State. Conklin also had two game-winning receptions during the season, including one in triple overtime.

In 2017, Conklin and the tight-end corps accounted for 547 receiving yards on 40 catches and scored six touchdowns. In seven games of action, Conklin had 28 receptions for 406 yards and five touchdowns, earning third-team All-MAC. He was selected to participate in the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine.

Moore spent five seasons at Louisville before joining the Central Michigan staff. He worked as a graduate assistant coach for three seasons (2009-11) before spending the final two years as the Cardinals’ tight end coach (2012-13). During Moore’s two seasons as a full-time assistant coach, Louisville had a 23-3 record with a BCS bowl appearance and a Big East title in 2012. The tight-end corps produced a 13-catch improvement during his two seasons, collecting 30 catches in 2012 and 43 receptions in 2013.

During his time as a graduate assistant coach, Moore helped the Cardinals to a pair of bowl appearances and helped develop All-BIG EAST first-team offensive guard Mark Wetterer. Moore also earned his master’s degree in sports administration from Louisville.

Moore played two seasons along the offensive line for the University of Oklahoma (2006-07). He played in 14 games at offensive guard and helped the Sooners win two Big 12 Championships and played in two BCS bowl games. Before joining the Sooners, Moore was a two-year starter at Butler County (Kansas) Community College. He was a member of two conference championship teams the posted a 20-3 record. Moore earned second-team all-conference accolades.

Moore earned his bachelor’s degree in communications from Oklahoma in 2008.
