JACKSONVILLE -- North Florida junior guard Dallas Moore has withdawn his name from 2016 NBA Draft list and will return for his senior season with the Ospreys in 2016-17. 

Moore, who did not hire an agent, put his name into the NBA Draft in early April and was able to utliize the NCAA's process for professional evaluation without affecting his amateur status. He had until Wednesday (May 25) to withdraw from the draft list.

"In order to pursue and embrace this opportunity you have to be talented enough to draw the attention of the NBA," said UNF head coach Matthew Driscoll. "Dallas has done that throughout his career starting from his freshman season. The preparation and focus Dallas demonstrated while getting himself ready to workout for teams was both enlightening and driven. The feedback that we received is priceless, as it gives Dallas a clear and precise picture of the areas he needs to improve, but more importantly reveals the potential for growth they see for the areas that he is already recognized in nationally. This opportunity was exactly what we hoped for and the NCAA did a great job changing the rules to allow this to occur."

The 2015-16 Atlantic Sun Player of the Year, first-team All-Atlantic Sun honoree, Moore led the Ospreys and the Atlantic Sun in both scoring (19.8 ppg) and assists (6.0 apg). He was one of only four players in the country to top their league in both categories. He also enjoyed his most successful season statistically improving in nearly every category. Moore finished the year shooting 51 percent from the field including 39 percent from the three-point arc and 71 percent from the free throw line.

Moore, who was named an AP All-America Honorable Mention and to the NABC All-District 3 first-team, scored a program single season record of 672 points and also become the program's all-time leading scorer with 1,625 career points. He helped lead UNF to a second consecutive Atlantic Sun regular season title and national postseason tournament appearance, with the Ospreys making their program debut in the NIT.

The Ospreys, who captured their second consecutive Atlantic Sun regular season title last year, return three starters and a total of six letterwinners from the championship squad. UNF also welcomes back junior center Romelo Banks, who missed last year with an injury, along with a newcomer class of five talented athletes.
