Texas A&M's Damontre Moore declares for draft

DALLAS (AP) — Texas A&M defensive end Damontre Moore will forego his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Moore led the Aggies in tackles (80), sacks (12 1/2) and tackles for losses (20) this season. He was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference pick and was a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award.

NFLDraftScout.com projects Moore as a first-round selection in the 2013 draft. It rates him as the eighth-best player available and the No. 2 defensive end, immediately behind Florida State's Bjoern Werner.

Moore will finish his Texas A&M career Friday when the Aggies face Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl.
