He mentored three first-team All-Centennial Conference selections on special teams while two defensive linemen were all-conference picks. Moore was also recognized as a member of the Centennial Conference Coaching Staff of the Year after making an immediate impact with the team.
"We are excited to welcome Sean Moore to the Franklin & Marshall Football Family," stated head coach Michael Phelan at that time of Moore's hiring. "Sean is a talented coach who will bring great energy to our defensive line and special teams' units."

Under Moore's leadership, RPI had three defensive linemen earn All-Liberty League honors. The defensive line led RPI to 22 total sacks and 55 tackles behind the line of scrimmage as opponents were held under 20 points per game.
Prior to his time at RPI, Moore spent the 2023 season at Wilkes University where he helped the Colonels to the Chesapeake Challenge Bowl Series. Two defensive linemen earned All-Landmark Conference honors for Wilkes that season, in addition to one D3football.com all-region selection.
