Tulsa, Oklahoma - Cort Moffitt, who was an all-state kicker in 1998 at Tulsa's Booker T. Washington High School, will play football for The University of Tulsa next season, announced Head Football Coach Keith Burns. Moffitt transferred to Tulsa from the University of New Mexico prior to the 2001 season, and was a member of the TU men's soccer team last fall.
Moffitt (6'3", 236) was a two-year letterwinner in football at New Mexico before transferring. He was an honorable mention all-Mountain West punter as a sophomore in 2000. He punted 86 times for a 39.7-yard average, and dropped 20 of his punts inside the 20-yard line. As a sophomore, he had a career-high 11 punts for a 44.4 average against Oregon State, including a 72-yarder. He had the fourth longest punt in school history with a 78-yarder against Texas Tech in the 2000 season.
During his freshman season, Moffitt averaged 37 yards on 60 punts while being the only true freshman to earn a letter for the Lobos that year. His best game came against Wyoming, when he had a 45-yard average on four punts.
At Booker T. Washington High School, he earned all-state honors by the Tulsa World, Daily Oklahoman and Oklahoma Coaches Association his senior season. As a kicker, he converted 14 field goals and 83-of-86 PATs during his career. Moffitt nailed 7-of-10 field goals his senior season, including a state record 61-yarder and had a 41.0 punting average. He was also a four-year letterman as a soccer goalkeeper.
Last season as a member of the TU soccer team, Moffitt played one game in goal and recorded a shutout.
