Ole Miss WR Elijah Moore steps away to focus on NFL Draft

Ole Miss wide receiver Elijah Moore has played his last game as a Rebel, announcing today that he’s turning all of his attention to the NFL draft.

Saturday’s regular season finale at LSU is the last game on the schedule, but Ole Miss is still in the hunt for a bowl bid as well.

Moore’s last game was last month’s Egg Bowl, giving the junior both some closure and redemption with a 31-24 win over Mississippi State in which he caught 12 passes for 139 yards, setting the Ole Miss single season record with 86 receptions in just eight games.

Moore is one of 11 semi-finalists up for the Biletnikoff Award, going to the nation’s best pass catcher.

He says he’s been dreaming of the NFL since he was six-years-old.
