 McNeil (Mac) Moore donned his number 38 jersey and stepped onto the grass of Pritchett Field in 1951. He walked off the field in 1954 as a Sam Houston graduate and record-setting champion athlete. Over fifty years later, he still holds the single game rushing record and a career record for most points. Mac continued his studies at Sam, receiving his Master’s degree in 1957.
He went on to play professional football with the Chicago Bears, coach and teach, and launch a successful financial services business. When asked about his greatest achievement, Mac doesn’t hesitate to acknowledge his family – wife, Bonnie and daughters, Kathy and Karen.
Retired but still very active, he remains a much-loved community leader in the small town of Center, Texas. A world traveler, Mac saw his first glimpse of the Egyptian pyramids on the back of a camel and, at the age of 72, rode the zip lines in Costa Rica.
Mac has always been a great friend and supporter of the university. In recognition of the influence Sam Houston State had on his life, he recently established an endowed scholarship.
