Cre Ahmani Moore (b. June 10, 1993) is a young defensive back who saw limited action as a reserve in 2014 and will compete for more playing time in 2015. I currently have him returning to his duties of backing up Morgan Burns.

Moore redshirted in 2013 and played in five games last season — seeing time as a reserve cornerback against Stephen F. Austin, UTEP, Oklahoma State, TCU and Kansas — but he did not record any statistics.

Kansas State coaches found Moore at Broken Arrow High School in the Tulsa suburbs, playing for head coach Steve Spauital. He had interest from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, as well as several smaller schools.

Moore was named to the Oklahoma Top 11 All-State team as a senior and was a 2012 All-State Class 6A selection at cornerback by The Daily Oklahoman.

A three-year starter who recorded four interceptions and 100 tackles in his final two years, Moore helped Broken Arrow to earn a runner-up finish in the Oklahoma Class 6A State championship game in 2011.

Moore also was a standout in track and field who helped to set a school record in the 4x100 relay. Rivals.com listed him as a three-star player and the No. 14 player in the state of Oklahoma in 2012.
