Ex-MacArthur Player Darrin Moore Dismissed from UTEP

UTEP Coach Mike Price announced on Saturday that freshman wide receiver Darrin Moore has been dismissed from the football team for violating team rules.

Moore redshirted the 2008 season, but was expected to compete for significant playing time this season or even a starting spot as the third wideout.

Moore was suspended from the team for a week early in spring practice, but returned and was one of the team's most productive receivers in the second half of spring. He led the team in receiving in the penultimate scrimmage and drew praise from head coach Mike Price.

Moore played his prep ball at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, earning first team All-District honors as a senior.
