DALLAS – NC State's Isaiah Moore has been named one of 20 semifinalists for the sixth annual Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year, as announced by the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Selection Committee on Wednesday afternoon.
Moore, one of just two three-year captains in school history, has led the Wolfpack on and off the field for the past three years. As a fifth-year starter on the Wolfpack's ACC-leading defense, he's ranked among the team and conference leaders in tackles throughout his career, but his contributions off the field may be even more impressive.
Moore co-founded PackUnited – a student-athlete led intiative at NC State which denounces racism and social injustice and promotes unity through three pillars: education, awareness and action. This organization was started following the murder of George Floyd and has continued to grow.
The graduate student has led many positive dialogues between student-athletes, coaches, administration and other staff, organized an on-campus protest over that summer and created a social justice patch which can be seen on all of NC State's athletic teams' uniforms. He also led a drive through this organization to get 100% of NC State's student-athletes and staff registered to vote.
In total, Pack United has also raised more than $10,000 to donate to local nonprofits.
Compiled by a subset of the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Selection Committee, Moore and the 19 additional semifinalists have all demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field.
Three finalists will be named for the award on Wednesday, Dec. 14. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony in Frisco, Texas, on Feb. 23.
Entering Game 11 this season for the Wolfpack, Moore paces the Pack defense with 12 tackles for loss. He's also tied for third on the team with 56 total tackles and third alone with three sacks.
Overall, Moore has helped the Wolfpack defense rank first in the ACC in interceptions (16), rushing defense (92.3), scoring defense (18.1) and pass efficiency defense (116.4). The Pack also ranks second in the league in third-down conversion defense (.311) and fourth in the league in total defense (321.2). NC State's 16 interceptions also ranks third nationally.
