Coming from a town with just two stop lights, Moore is looking forward to having the opportunity to travel.

After high school, Moore played two years at Pearl River Community College before transferring to the University of Southern Mississippi. He played all 13 games and tied the team lead for interceptions with two. During his senior season, Moore became a starter and lead the team in tackles and interceptions. He majored in kinesiology.

In 2018 he attended Southern Mississippi's pro day and performed all of the combine and positional drills. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Moore was projected to be a third round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the fourth best free safety prospect in the draft. The San Francisco 49ers drafted Moore in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Moore comes from an athletic family, as his cousin, Antonio McDyess, played 17 seasons in the NBA for the Pistons, Nuggets, Spurs, Suns and Knicks.

On May 5, 2018, the San Francisco 49ers signed Moore to a four-year, $3.35 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $784,371.

In Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs, Moore recorded an interception off a pass thrown by Patrick Mahomes which was deflected off the arm of wide receiver Tyreek Hill during the 31–20 loss.
