Texas A&M 2026 Commit Aubrey Moore Is A Dual-Threat Star

Aubrey Moore Aubrey Moore RHP Allatoona | 2026 #19 Nation GA had a wealth of great options when it came to choosing a college program. The next big decision for the 2026 Texas A&M commit isn’t quite as life-changing.

Moore is a music aficionado, with a lengthy list of favorite artists that includes Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, Erica Badu, SZA and Beyoncé. So what will her walk-up song be when she eventually makes her college debut at Davis Diamond?

“Oh my God, I have not thought about it,” Moore said. “I have no clue.”

The utility/pitcher from Acworth, Georgia still has plenty of time to ponder her choice before arriving in College Station. 

Possessing a powerful bat, quick hands and good plate discipline, Moore batted .609 with 13 home runs and a .700 on-base percentage this summer while playing for Athletics Gold 08-Tamborra. In the circle, she had a 1.73 ERA and 72 strikeouts.

The athletic Moore can play all the infield positions, with shortstop and third base as her preferred choices. Her lateral speed and anticipation make her a dynamic defender.

But the trait Moore values the most isn’t one measured by stats.

“I think being a leader is the most important thing for an athlete,” said the Allatoona High junior. “If you’re not a leader, you won’t be able to succeed in a lot of things.”

Moore was born in Ohio and her family moved around a lot when she was younger because of her father’s job at Norfolk Southern, a railway company. Before settling in Georgia when she was in the fourth grade, Moore’s family lived in Alabama, where her parents attended college at the University of Alabama.

“Leaving Alabama was the hardest move for me because most of my family lives there. During all the other moves, I wasn’t old enough to really mind,” said Moore, whose brother and sister are 13-year-old twins. “But I was really sad when we left Alabama. Now that I am older though, I realize it’s not that far and I can go on weekend trips to visit.”

Moore’s mother is a chef who operated her own restaurant in Alabama. After the family relocated to Georgia, she began catering. Moore used to be more of a picky eater, but her palate has matured along with her age. She is one of her mom’s biggest promoters.

“Her cooking is so good. She cooks everything. She can make any type of food. I am blessed to have her,” Moore said. “It’s crazy because I’ll go to lunch at school and have steak for lunch from leftovers the night before and I will share it with all my friends.”

Moore plans to carve her own career path. She wants to be an anesthesiologist, a profession that piqued her interest after having thumb surgery last year.

“The hand doctor that I had, he was really cool, and he does stuff for the Braves and for all the sports teams. I think I want to do something like that to help people,” Moore said. “I want to do something in that field to get athletes back as quickly as I can, and I just chose to be an anesthesiologist.”

Moore knows juggling a pre-med academic load as a college athlete won’t be easy, but she’s ready for the challenge. Her commitment to Texas A&M came after careful consideration for all the university had to offer.

“I love everything about it. The culture that they have built there is crazy,” Moore said. “It’s everything you want in a program. They are like a family. They’re very family-oriented. The coaches give parent vibes. They are just like moms and dads to all those players.”

Moore’s appreciation for music has developed over time. Her pre-game playlist usually features “chill music” to counterbalance the aggressive nature she displays once she hits the field.

“My granddad, he was very into music, and he got me into it. He collected records. He had a room dedicated to records. It was really cool,” she said. “I love R&B. I used to play the saxophone. That is in the past. I was not good at it. That was not a good choice. But other than that, I just love to listen to music.”

Although she’s not afraid to get her uniform dirty on the field and drenched in sweat from the Southern humidity, Moore doesn’t possess a tomboy style.

“I love all the girly things,” she said. “I love hair, makeup. I’m literally going to Sephora in a few minutes. I love shopping. I love shopping.”

Moore is hoping her softball career leads to many more wins, titles and accolades beyond the ones she’s already achieved. However, she wants her legacy to be judged by more than anything she accomplishes in the sport.

“I want to be known for my character. I want people to know me as a really good person, very positive, very bright,” Moore said. “I would rather people remember me for that than anything softball-related.”
