"Parker has the tools to have a great career at SIUE," Brown said. "He has gained good experience playing in summer tournaments and knows what it will take to play at this level with two brothers already playing college golf. I think SIUE is a great fit for him and his family and look forward to watching him grow."
Moore joins the Cougars from Geneseo High School in Geneseo, Illinois. He is ranked 13th in Illinois for 2024 class according to the AJGA Rolex Rankings.
