04/25/13 - DANE BRUGLER'S FINAL 2013 DRAFT BOARD: 45. OLB Sio Moore, Connecticut (6-1, 245, 5SR)...A versatile strong-side linebacker, Moore is scheme diverse with the talent to rush the passer, drop in space and hold up in zone coverage. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
04/24/13 - 2013 NFL DRAFT RANG'S GANG: OLB: Sio Moore, Connecticut, 6-1, 245, 4.62...Teams love all-purpose outside linebackers and they don't come much more versatile than Moore, who proved to be a playmaker for the Huskies whether slicing through gaps to collect an eye-popping 43 tackles for loss over his career, rushing the quarterback (16 sacks) or dropping into coverage (four interceptions). Some thought Moore was simply feasting off an aggressive UCONN scheme until he starred at the East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl, as well. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
04/17/13 - 2013 Connecticut Pro Day: UConn’s Sio Moore meets with Pittsburgh Steelers...Representatives from 30 NFL teams - including linebackers coaches from seven teams - gathered at Connecticut’s pro day on March 27, where 13 players worked out indoors on FieldTurf. Connecticut coach Paul Pasqualoni hosted a really well-run pro day in Storrs, Conn. There were four players from UConn at the NFL Scouting Combine, and here is how their pro day transpired...Snorsio “Sio” Moore, OLB (6-foot-1 1/8, 243 pounds) - Moore stood on his numbers from the combine (he was a top performer in his position group in the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump and broad jump). He did position drills only, and that workout was led by a linebackers coach from the Baltimore Ravens. Moore visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com
01/18/13 - 2013 SHRINE GAME PRACTICE RISERS: 9. OLB Sio Moore, Connecticut (6006, 240 -- East Team)...Moore entered the week as an underrated prospect, but he showed during practice sessions what most already knew: He's a pretty good football player. He was a versatile performer in college with good production as a hybrid linebacker for the Huskies, not looking out of place when asked to play in space against either the run or pass. Even in non-contact drills, Moore's competitive drive and explosive hitting ability were evident, and he will likely earn a top-100 grade from more than a few NFL teams. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com

The result threw the Big East Conference into a jumbled mess. Connecticut (5-6, 2-4 in the Big East) sacked Bridgewater and backup Will Stein five times, helping hold Louisville to 19 yards rushing.

Bridgewater injured his left wrist when Sio Moore dumped him with a horsecollar tackle as time expired in the first half. After staying in the locker room for treatment, Bridgewater returned to the field in the third quarter to raucous applause from the crowd of 45,618. - The Sports Xchange
