11 days ago, Matt Campbell’s inaugural staff was dealt a blow with wide receivers coach Noah Pauley making the move to the NFL and the Green Bay Packers. Penn State now has its Pauley replacement in Colorado State wide receivers coach Kashif Moore, according to a report from Matt Zenitz.
Moore spent the last three seasons at his alma mater, UConn, working under Jim Mora. While at UConn, Moore played a key part in developing Skyler Bell, who was a Biletnikoff finalist this past season after finishing his senior year with an impressive 101 receptions, 1,278 yards, and 13 touchdowns.
Moore checks a lot of boxes of what you’re generally looking for from a wide receivers coach. He’s young, he’s from the area (New Jersey native), he’s coached around the Northeast (Albany and Cornell stops as well), and he has some real development chops as shown with Bell. I know Penn State fans feel a bit snakebitten when it comes to wide receiver coaching hires in recent times, but I think there’s good reason to be excited about Moore.
