Rose Moore, a senior for Weber State volleyball, has decided to remain with the Wildcats in Ogden despite potential financial opportunities through the transfer portal, according to a report published October 14.
Moore, considered one of the top players in the Big Sky Conference, opted to stay with the program she has been part of for five years rather than seeking Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) compensation elsewhere.
Weber State head coach Jeremiah Larsen noted that Moore could have likely earned between $60,000 and $70,000 had she entered the transfer portal last year. Moore stated that her decision was driven by loyalty to her coaches and teammates, noting that she trusts her coaching staff and values the community at Weber State.
Teammate Maggie Larsen observed that Moore's character and loyalty are evident, noting that Moore is talented enough to play for a Power 4 school and earn significantly more money. Larsen described Moore as the team's hardest hitter and highest jumper, with a vertical reach of 10 feet 8 inches.
Moore's statistical impact was significant last season, when she finished as the team leader in sets played, matches played, matches started, points, kills, total attacks, and service aces. Within the Big Sky Conference, she ranked third in points and was fifth in both kills and aces.
As of the report, Moore ranked 109th nationally in kills per set with a rate of 3.63. She is scheduled to compete in a match against Idaho State on Tuesday, October 14, 2026.
Moore's volleyball journey began in seventh grade after watching her sister play the sport. She attended Skyridge High School in Lehi, where she earned a 2021 American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American Honorable Mention and appeared on the AVCA Phenom Lists.
During her collegiate career, Moore has transitioned from an insecure freshman into a disciplined leader. Teammates such as Sophia Sparrow and Lexie Carlson highlighted her consistency, discipline in conditioning, and action-driven leadership style.
With her collegiate career nearing its end, Moore expressed interest in continuing her volleyball career professionally, potentially in the United States, Europe, or Asia.
