Kellen Moore was born on July 12, 1989, in Prosser, Washington. He earned the nickname “The Surgeon” for his calm and precise style of play as a quarterback. Moore developed an early interest in football, inspired by his father, Tom Moore, who served as the head football coach at Prosser High School from 1986 to 2008. As a child, Moore often studied game strategies and used a notepad to diagram plays, demonstrating an unusually analytical mind for the sport.
Moore attended Prosser High School, where he played under the guidance of his father. His brother, Kirby Moore, was also a wide receiver on the team and often trained with Kellen, both in structured practices and casual backyard drills. Despite being undersized for a quarterback—his growth plateaued after high school—Kellen excelled at the sport. By the time he graduated high school, Moore had earned recognition for his skill and leadership on the field, setting the stage for his collegiate football career.
Moore began his college football career at Boise State University, redshirting during the 2007 season. From 2008 to 2011, he served as the Broncos’ starting quarterback. He quickly became one of the most celebrated college quarterbacks in the nation. Over four seasons, Moore compiled an impressive record and led Boise State to numerous high-profile wins, including victories over TCU and Virginia Tech.
His accolades include being named WAC Freshman of the Year in 2008, Freshman All-American, Second-Team All-WAC in 2008, and First-Team All-WAC in both 2009 and 2010. Moore was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2010 and was also recognized as Quarterback of the Year in 2010 and 2011. He finished his college career as a two-time All-American. Moore's time at Boise State solidified his reputation as one of the most intelligent and accurate passers in college football history.
