He was expected to compete for playing time this season in USC's young secondary.
Rumors about Moore's departure started to circulate a few days ago and on Wednesday they were confirmed by Moore's father, Byron Moore Sr.
"Yes it's true," Moore said via text message. "He wants a fresh start."
According to his father, Moore was not leaving the program due to the NCAA sanctions.
Being a redshirt freshman, Moore was not eligible to transfer to another Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) program without sitting out one season.
Moore is attending Los Angeles Harbor College, a junior college in Wilmington, California.
Moore Sr. asked the USC community to keep Byron in their prayers.
