Moore thanked former Gophers coach Jerry Kill for "taking a chance in me and believing in what I stand for."
"I will forever bleed maroon and gold," Moore continued, "but it is time for me to move into greener pastures."
The Gophers also had three players decommit -- wide receiver Javan Hawes (Tyrone, Ga.), running back Jakyle Holmes (Ponchatoula, La.) and linebacker Claudin Cherelus (Naples, Fla.). All had committed under former coach Tracy Claeys. They joined offensive lineman Jimmie Terry (Tyler, Texas), who decommitted on Sunday.
Minnesota, boosted by Brody Lamb’s resurgence, moved to just a point behind first-place Michigan State.
