Brett Mooring 6'4 235 LBS QB West Craven HS

Perhaps the biggest commitment from the signing day class came from West Craven High School quarterback Brett Mooring. The 6'4 235 pound signal-caller was invited to play in the prestigious Shrine Bowl and is the first Shrine Bowl passer to commit since All-American Brad Roach.

"Another outstanding student who has a tremendous skill set," Hester commented. "He has impressed our coaches with his leadership qualities."

According to MaxPreps.com, Mooring led the state of North Carolina in passing with over 4,000 yards and 47 total touchdowns as a senior. For his efforts, Mooring was named first team all-conference and first team all-state.

He combined to throw for over 5,000 yards during his sophomore and junior seasons., becoming one of the few quarterbacks in the state's history to compile more than 9,000 passing yards in only three prep seasons. The Coastal Conference's Offensive Player of the Year led his Eagles to a 15-1 record and the school's first ever state title game appearance.
