[2] On the recommendation of his junior college football coach, Moore received an athletic scholarship to transfer from the University of Tennessee at Martin to the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he was a star running back for coach Doug Dickey's Gators teams in 1972 and 1973.

The catch was a crucial third-down conversion, leading to a score and a come-from-behind win in a closely contested divisional game.

In 1984, the NFL voted Moore as "Man of the Year," an honor given to a player who gives outstanding service to his community.

He created The Nat Moore Foundation, an organization through which he continues to work with disadvantaged youths in the Miami-Dade County area, in 1998.

In addition, he teams with Bob Griese to provide television analysis of preseason Dolphins games.
