Texas linebacker Trey Moore met with the Dallas Cowboys at the NFL Combine after posting 15.5 career sacks and 71 tackles in Austin.
The Dallas Cowboys aren’t wasting time at the NFL Combine, and one name already on their radar is former Texas Longhorns linebacker Trey Moore.
Moore, fresh off a productive 2025 season in Austin, reportedly sat down with Dallas for an interview in Indianapolis.
That’s not just a courtesy meeting. When the Cowboys start stacking defensive prospects on their board, it usually means they see scheme fit - and upside.
The San Antonio native may not be projected as a first-round lock, but his body of work demands attention. In 2025, Moore posted 35 tackles, 3.0 sacks, and three pass breakups in 12 games.
Those numbers don’t scream headline-grabber at first glance, but context matters. He missed time compared to the previous season and still managed to disrupt offenses consistently.
Over his Longhorn career, Moore totaled 71 tackles and 15.5 sacks, flashing the ability to win off the edge and create chaos in passing situations.
He’s the type of hybrid defender NFL teams covet - athletic enough to drop into coverage, aggressive enough to pressure quarterbacks.
For Dallas, the timing makes sense. The Cowboys are looking to reload defensively with young, versatile pieces who can rotate early and develop into long-term contributors.
Moore checks boxes as a high-motor linebacker who understands leverage and pursuit angles.
While he’s currently only confirmed to have met with Dallas, that likely won’t last long. Combine week has a way of filling up schedules quickly, especially for defenders who show consistent production against Power Four competition.
Moore isn’t the only Longhorn in Indianapolis. Teammates like Anthony Hill Jr., Michel Taaffe, DJ Campbell, Malik Muhammad, Jack Endries, and Jaylon Guilbeau are also drawing attention.
But for now, it’s Moore who has already started building NFL relationships ... and the Cowboys may be listening closely.
