Rondale Moore was born June 9, 2000, in New Albany, Indiana. He is a wide receiver in the National Football League.
Moore was born in 2000, the son of Quincy Ricketts. He grew up on the same block as Romeo Langford and the two played basketball together until their sophomore year of high school. He attended New Albany High School where he was part of the 2016 4A Indiana State basketball championship team with Langford before transferring to Trinity High School where he was a four-star football recruit. On June 25, 2017, he committed to play for the University of Texas at Austin. On December 3, 2017, Rondale led Trinity High School to its 25th (and 2nd consecutively) state championship with a 38–21 victory over rival St Xavier to cap off back-to-back perfect 15–0 seasons. Rondale was named MVP of the game. On December 19, 2017, he de-committed from Texas, citing that he didn't have all the time he needed to evaluate schools during the season. On January 6, 2018, after a dramatic selection, Moore committed to Purdue University during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
In his first-ever game with the Boilermakers and his first game overall, Moore's 313-yard all-purpose yards was the record for most in program history, and highest since Otis Armstrong, who had 312 in 1972. In that same game, Moore had a 76-yard rush to score a touchdown that evened the score at 14–14. The Boilermakers eventually lost the game, 31–27. On September 3, 2018, Moore was named the Co-Freshman of the Week in the Big Ten Conference. On September 24, 2018, Moore was once again named Big Ten Freshman of the Week. On October 22, 2018, Moore was once again named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week. On November 25, 2018, Moore was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the fourth time.
At the conclusion of the 2018 regular season, Moore had recorded 1,164 receiving yards and 203 rushing yards to go along with thirteen combined touchdowns. Moore's 2,048 all-purpose yards were the most since Dorien Bryant recorded 2,121 in 2007, and the second-most in school history. He was drafted 49th by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2021 NFL Draft.
