Notre Dame football cornerback Leonard Moore stands front and center for the EA Sports College Football ’27 Deluxe cover. But he’s likely front and center inside the Miami (FL) locker room too.
Moore fired off some warning shots bound to get the Hurricanes’ attention. Especially before both storied programs meet again in 2026.
The returning defender told On3/Rivals Sunday that ND dug their own “grave” when it came to contending for the College Football Playoffs. Now he and the Fighting Irish aim for redemption, starting with the ‘Canes.
“By the time we get into the season, I’ll probably have some pent-up anger from last season. We’ll be ready for them, but most of all, we’ll be ready for Game 1,” Moore told Pete Nakos of On3/Rivals.
Moore remained reflective of what could have been for ND. He felt “hurt in the moment” along with the rest of his team for receiving the CFP snub. But he loves the veteran leadership back in South Bend this season, helping fuel thoughts of a postseason return.
“We’ve got a good squad coming back, especially on defense,” Moore said. “Most of the defense is pretty much back, if not all of it. We lost a few older guys who I’ll miss dearly, but we’re ready to go this season.”
Moore leads the backend for a team that went 10-2, with Miami handing Notre Dame its opening season loss. That Hurricanes victory eventually became a prelude to their march to the National Championship Game.
But ND can’t get its hands on Miami until Nov. 7 when the Hurricanes visit South Bend. Notre Dame must think about Wisconsin first on Sept. 6 to kick off the season.
