Moore began his college career at Cal State Bakersfield. He played for the Roadrunners from 2016 to 2021, earning first-team All-Big West Conference honors as a senior. He struggled with injuries during his CSUB career, missing the entire 2017–18 season with a broken tibia and fibula in his right knee.[2][3] Following the 2020–21 season, he entered the NCAA transfer portal.[4]

Moore ultimately chose the University of Houston and coach Kelvin Sampson for his final year of eligibility. He was a starter for a Cougars team that went 32–6, averaging 10.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in his sole season with the team.
