Shady Side Academy graduate Skyy Moore was traded to the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 20. The former Bulldog spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning Super Bowl championships in 2022 and 2023.

Moore’s best production as a professional came during his rookie season. Moore caught 22 passes for 250 yards.

Moore appeared in six games for the Chiefs last season and didn’t play in the playoffs. Moore was a star in college at Western Michigan.
