MN high school basketball recruiting and Jayden Moore football

Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck had one of the best basketball players in Minnesota in his office last weekend. Jayden Moore’s recent run of success on the gridiron for Hopkins has been so special, it earned him a scholarship offer from Fleck.

The 6-foot, 170-pound junior is a highly touted point guard prospect with basketball offers from Ben Johnson’s Gophers, Baylor, Illinois, Iowa and West Virginia. Fleck’s offer was Moore’s first for football.

Moore, who leads the state in receiving yards and touchdown catches, decided to play high school football at Hopkins this year for the first time.
