For Moore, it's been a long trip to the top
090410 GSU MOORE
Brett Moore, right, clears a hole for a runner against Savannah State in Georgia Southern's Sept. 4 season opener at Paulson Stadium Saturday. Moore, a senior, was a backup long snapper under Chris Hatcher before climbing up the depth chart and becoming a starter under first-year coach Jeff Monken this season.
How does a guy who was a walk-on, backup long snapper — about as low as you can get on the totem pole — suddenly emerge as a starter? Just ask Brett Moore. That’s where he found himself last Saturday when Georgia Southern opened its season with a 48-3 win over Savannah State as he anchored the Eagle line at right tackle.
