Justin Moore is entering his third year as the Vice President and Director of Athletics at The University of Tulsa, looking to build on a record-setting first two years that began with his appointment in July 2024.

In 2025-26, TU continued to build on the Tulsa Athletic Strategic Plan to DEVELOP student-athletes and staff, ENGAGE the community, and WIN championships. TU won four American Conference championships, its most in a single season since the 2015-16 school year (six during Moore’s tenure). Women’s Golf won its second straight American Conference title, while Volleyball and Men’s Tennis won their first and Men’s Cross Country claimed its 11^th conference title since joining the American. Tulsa also saw its Men’s Basketball program reach the 30-win plateau for the second time in school history and set eight school records while posting one of the nation’s largest year-over-year improvements.

Academically, Tulsa student-athletes continued to excel in the classroom as they set a departmental cumulative GPA record with a GPA of 3.418. The second year in a row they achieved the highest GPA in school history. In addition to record breaking academics, TU has also placed an emphasis on its commitment to overall student-athlete welfare. The department has added resources towards student-athlete mental health, added programs for leadership development, and enhanced the experience for all Golden Hurricane student-athletes.

For the second straight year, Moore and the development team recorded the highest annual fundraising total in the history of Tulsa Athletics, driven by a record-breaking TU Giving Day, with more than $1.5 million in pledges, which is a 41 percent increase over the previous year. In addition to fundraising success, Tulsa also set new all-time records for both licensing royalties and sponsorship revenue.

Fan engagement and community impact continued to reach new heights throughout the year. H.A. Chapman Stadium hosted nationally recognized events, including the Zach Bryan concert, attracting fans from 49 states and Canada while generating millions of impressions and showcasing The University of Tulsa on a national stage. The Football program launched the Portal House, a first-of-its-kind endeavor giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the world of college football recruiting and generated over 20 million impressions while reaching the attention of fans, supporters, and recruits nationwide.

During Moore’s first year at TU, Tulsa Athletics set new standards in academics, athletics and fundraising. Women’s Cross Country and Women’s Golf both captured American Conference titles, and Men’s and Women’s Cross Country advanced to the NCAA Championships. Women’s Tennis and Women’s Golf earned NCAA Regional berths, and 53 student-athletes were recognized with All-Conference honors. Success extended into the classroom as well as TU student-athletes posted the highest GPA in school history, 11 sports programs earned a perfect APR score and 25 student-athletes were named Academic All-District.

Moore and the development team recorded the highest annual fundraising total in the history of Tulsa Athletics, driven by a record-breaking TU Giving Day, which would be broken the following year.

Along with achieving success in the classroom and setting fundraising records, Moore made key leadership hires across the department. He brought in a new Football coaching staff and a new head coach for Women’s Golf. In their first year under Coach Mike Roters, the Women’s Golf team won the American Conference Championship, and Roters was named American Coach of the Year. Moore also added several new members to the executive staff and serves as a member of the President’s Senior Cabinet.

In 2025, Tulsa also announced the reinstatement of the Men’s Golf program after a nine-year hiatus, marking the 18th varsity sport at TU. This momentous return was made possible thanks to the generosity of donors—many of whom are proud alumni who helped build the tradition of Tulsa Men’s Golf.

A Houston, Texas native, Moore arrived at Tulsa after spending much of his career in the Lone Star state. Prior to Tulsa, Moore most recently served as the Executive Deputy Athletics Director and Chief Operating Officer at Texas A&M, where he worked alongside the Director of Athletics in directing the overall planning, implementation, administration and day-to-day operations of the athletics department. During his tenure as COO, the Aggies finished sixth in the Learfield Director’s Cup rankings, the second-highest finish in school history.

Prior to moving into the role in 2022, Moore worked in various other administrative roles at his alma mater, including serving as Deputy Athletics Director for Administration (2019-21), Senior Associate Athletics Director (2016-19) and Associate Athletics Director for Football (2012-15). During his tenure in College Station, Moore had an impact in almost every area of the department, including student-athlete performance and wellness, facilities and event management, fundraising, facility planning and capital projects, academics, compliance, budgeting, team operations and more. He also spearheaded an extensive leadership development program for the athletics department that offered courses and continuing education opportunities for coaches, staff and student-athletes. In addition, he served as the sport administrator for many of the Aggies’ key sports including Football, Men’s Basketball, Men’s and Women’s Track and Field/Cross Country, Men’s Golf, and Women’s Tennis.

In four seasons as the Aggies’ Associate Director for Football, he oversaw every aspect of the football program during one of the most successful periods in its history. From 2012-15, Texas A&M won 36 games, earned a bowl berth every season and produced eight First Team All-Americans, as well as the first freshman Heisman Trophy winner in college football history and the school’s first Outland Trophy recipient. In addition, the team’s multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) and overall team grade point average were both the highest in program history and football student-athletes earned close to 100 SEC Academic Honor Roll citations.

As the Associate Director for Football, Moore oversaw personnel and staffing, the departmental budget, recruiting, team logistics, bowl game coordination, day-to-day operations and football-related facility projects, which included the design process for the Davis Player Development Center, the R.C. Slocum Nutrition Center and Bright Football Complex Renovation, and worked closely with the 12th Man Foundation on the $485 million Kyle Field Redevelopment project.

Moore returned to Texas A&M in 2012 after spending four years at the University of Houston as the Assistant Athletics Director for Football. In his time with the Cougars, the team won the most games in any four-year period in school history and earned a pair of Conference USA West Division titles.

A double graduate from Texas A&M, Moore received his bachelor’s degree in finance in 2004 before earning a Master’s degree in Sports Management in 2007. He first worked in the private sector as a consultant for Deloitte and Touche LLP. In this role, he worked with Fortune 500 companies evaluating current practices and providing guidance to improve processes, the controls around these processes, and expand and improve revenue streams.

Moore was a two-time captain for the Texas A&M Baseball team. He was a Freshman All-American pitcher in 2001, named to the All-Big 12 Team twice and was a two-time recipient of the Pat Olsen Most Valuable Pitcher Award (2001-2002). He also earned Academic All-Big 12 Team honors for four straight years.

A three-sport standout in high school, Moore graduated from Katy Taylor in 1999 and was inducted in the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012.

He and his wife, Dory, have three children: Kate (17), Tysen (15) and Tatum (13).
