<\/p>\nFrederick Moore is one of the returning wide receivers for the Michigan offense in 2025. The junior looked very promising in the spring heading into the 2024 season, but the offense struggled in the pass game and, as a result, he had a disappointing season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moore finished with 11 receptions for 128 total yards, so he is hoping to improve those numbers in 2025. The Wolverines brought in a few older receivers from the transfer portal to compete, but Moore is focused on what he can do to be the best version of himself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He sat down with Jon Jansen on the \u201cIn the Trenches\u201d podcast and answered some questions about how he\u2019s preparing for his junior season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
New year, new offensive coordinator<\/p>\n
Moore is keeping with the culture in the locker room, echoing this year\u2019s mantra of \u201cteam over me.\u201d Despite competing for playing time with others at the position, he is focused on the entire room and how he can get better for his teammates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When it comes to new offensive coordinator, there\u2019s some good news from Moore.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been passing a lot more downfield,\u201d he said. \u201cBetter downfield passing. Still got a great run game and a great team. Just more opportunities for receivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I love that Moore makes a point to make sure everyone knows the run game is still a focal point. It\u2019s nice to hear a receiver talking about improved downfield passing because it was basically nonexistent last year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moore on the approach to spring ball<\/p>\n
This spring, the receivers are focusing on playing with more of an edge. Moore said they want to bring more energy to the offense and get open more consistently for the quarterbacks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cOur approach to spring ball is just be dawgs,\u201d said Moore.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When it comes to Moore\u2019s goals specifically, he is working on becoming a more vocal leader and improving his overall performance. He said he put on some weight during the winter to better prepare for the new season and is now in the 190s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When it comes to the entire position, they\u2019re all working on getting more reps in and improving.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe process may hurt, keep enduring it and be patient,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moore on the QB room<\/p>\n
One of the positions with a lot of attention \u2014 the quarterback room. Jansen asked Moore how they\u2019re working to build trust and relationships between receivers and quarterbacks this offseason, and Moore said a lot of it has to do with meetings and working to understand what the other positions need from one another.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While there are obvious differences in playing styles for Mikey Keene and Bryce Underwood, Moore said the approach doesn\u2019t change and that the receivers have the same conversations with all the quarterbacks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moore on relationship between receivers and defensive backs<\/p>\n
Jansen knows there\u2019s always a little bit of a verbal battle between the skill position guys and the defensive backs. When it comes to the biggest trash talker, Moore said they all talk a little. While he identified himself f as \u201cmore chill,\u201d Moore still says he\u2019ll eventually talk a little trash, too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll get another look at the battle between the defensive backs and wide receivers during the spring game on Saturday, April 19. The game will be broadcast on tape delay on Big Ten Network a week later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
