Nat Moore Trophy voting underway in South Florida
MIAMI, FLORIDA – Just 10 days remain to cast your vote for the Nat More Trophy, presented by CBS News Miami to the high school football player voted most outstanding in South Florida by the stations viewers.
The four finalists – Jordan Lyle, St. Thomas Aquinas’ running back, LeWayne McCoy, Miami Central running back, and Chaminade-Madonna wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Joshes Trader – were announced on November 14th and the voting runs through the end of the month.
Miami Central’s Rueben Bain, a defensive lineman who now plays for the University of Miami, won the award last year.
The Nat Moore Trophy is named in honor of Tallahassee native Nat Moore, who grew up in Miami and starred at Miami Edison High before going onto a stellar career at the University of Florida and, eventual, in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins.
He had 510 receptions for 7,546 yards and 74 touchdowns in his NFL career and still ranks among the Dolphins’ top three in each category.
He is still affiliated with the Dolphins, serving as the team’s Senior Vice President of Special Projects and Alumni Relations and he was voted the 1984 NFL Man of the Year for his service to the community.
