Both father and son played at the University of Virginia. Mike Moore played 47 games over four seasons with the Cavaliers, seeing action both on the defensive line and at linebacker. He accumulated 108 tackles including 24 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, four fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles and five passes defended.
