Former Nebraska OL Tyler Moore will play for Florida in 2013, according to GatorNation, an affiliate of ESPN.com

Moore started four games as a RT for the Cornhuskers in 2011 before deciding to sit out 2012 for personal reasons. He is currently attending St. Petersburg (Fla.) College, close to his home of Clearwater, Fla. He will be eligible to play for the Gators immediately in 2013. He'll be classified as a sophomore, and will have three years to complete his final three years of eligibility.

"I've never seen a staff work as hard as their staff," Moore's father told GatorNation. "From (coach Will) Muschamp, to the strength coach (Jeff) Dillman, to the director of player personnel Jon Haskins, there was just a different energy at Florida."

Picking up Moore could pay instant dividends for the Gators. He was only the 10th freshman to ever start on the OL for Nebraska. He is a versatile OL who can play G or T. The Gators will lose the left side of their OL in 2013 with the graduation of T Xavier Nixon and G James Wilson.
