Moore has 11 career interceptions, which is good for 5th place on MU's all-time charts. He is also on pace to graduate with a degree in psychology.

To appreciate how he made it to where he is now, you first need to take a look into his past. A picture in a locker can mean many things. To Moore the picture is his locker means everything.

"My grandma will open the doors for anybody, cook for anybody. She was granny to everybody around," said Moore.

Moore is an ideal mix of size, speed and strength. He does not tackle his opponents, he attacks them.

"What's the worst that could happen? Cause I've been through it all. So what's the worst that could happen coming out here and playing all out," Moore said.

When Moore says he is been through it all, he is talking about life in Hayti, a small town in the Missouri bootheel. He avoided trouble by spending his time playing sports.

"I got involved in basketball and football and with great coaches and a great community came back into effect that said you're pretty good. Stick with it," said Moore.

Moore moved in with his grandma at the age of 10. He lived by grandma's rules, make good grades or lost his chance to play.

"She always believed in me. She'd be the one to tell me you don't need to do it and why not," Moore said.

During Moore's time at MU his star has brightened on the field, but back at home, his grandma's focus faded.

"She came down with alzheimer's disease, like she started calling me my brother's name or call me my uncle's name.

She didn't know it was me," said Moore.

Moore took his love for grandma one step further. Earlier this year he tattooed a queen on his chest, a dedication to Hattie Marie.

While some fans will never forget Moore's impact on the field, the person who means the most to him, will never remember.

"Everything that comes on TV, she's like that's William playing football, that's my baby playing football on TV. It can be anything, it can be a western movie, but she thinks it's me," said Moore.

She cannot guide him with her words anymore, but Moore still draws strength from his grandma, through a picture in his locker.

"I just look at my picture and before I strap up I realize what I'm doing and who I'm doing it for," Moore said.

Moore says his best advice for kids on how to stay out of trouble is to turn on the TV and watch what he is doing now.

Earlier this season Moore returned his fourth interception for a touchdown, a new Missouri Tiger career record.
