Central Michigan quarterback David Moore won his appeal with the NCAA Thursday afternoon, allowing him to gain eligibility to play in 2021, maybe.

Moore tested positive for an anabolic steroid in his system back on October 7, 2019, from which he says came from a protein supplement from GNC. And this past October, when he was set to resume his eligibility, he tested positive again, claiming the substance had lingered in his system.

On Thursday, Moore had an appeal hearing with the NCAA to fight the second positive test, which was won. However, because he has not yet been cleared for his first positive test, Moore would need to provide a clean sample again in order to be eligible to play.

Moore has been able to practice and be with the team, but only as the scout team quarterback. He was not able to travel to away games, which he watched from Mount Pleasant by himself this past season.

Before being suspended in 2019, Moore led the team to a 2-2 record as a starter after taking over for an injured Quinten Dormady in week 2. You could see flashes of brilliance from Moore, which almost resulted in an upset victory over the Miami Hurricanes in his first start with CMU.

In the last game he played, Moore threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns while adding 24 rushing yards in a 42-16 victory over Eastern Michigan.

Moore, an Alpharetta, GA. native, played at Garden City Community College before transferring to Central Michigan. His eligibility give the Chippewas roster a big boost heading into the 2021 season.
