Background

Early life

Moreau grew up in New Orleans and attended Jesuit High School, where he played high school football and basketball. As a High School senior, Moreau caught 34 passes for 454 yards and six touchdowns as the Blue Jays won the LHSAA Division I state championship. Rated a three-star prospect by 24/7 Sports and a two-star by Rivals.com, Moreau committed to play football at Louisiana State University over offers from Tulane, Mississippi State, Air Force, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, and Louisiana-Lafayette, among others.

College career

Moreau played four seasons for the LSU Tigers. He played mostly on special teams with the kick return unit and as a blocking tight end in his first two seasons, with no receptions as a freshman and six for 79 yards and one touchdown as a sophomore. Moreau enjoyed his most productive season in his first full year as a starter, catching 24 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns.

Moreau entered his senior year on the Mackey Award watchlist, was named team captain and chosen to wear the No. 18 Jersey by the Tigers' coaching staff. In his final season, Moreau caught 22 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns and continued to play on special teams as a blocker on the field goal unit. He finished his collegiate career with 52 receptions for 629 yards and six touchdowns in 49 career games (32 starts). Following the end of his senior season, Moreau was invited to play in the 2019 Senior Bowl, where he impressed NFL scouts in practice and caught one pass for 11 yards in the game.

Personal life

In March 2023, during a routine physical on a free agent visit with the New Orleans Saints, Moreau was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Saints team physician Dr. John Amoss detected an enlarged lymph node on his left collarbone. On March 22, Moreau announced that he would be temporarily stepping away from football.

On May 10, after completing his treatment, Moreau signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Saints. On July 3, he posted on social media that his cancer was now "in full remission."
