ArauzMoore, or Q, joined Gonzaga as a walk-on ahead of the 2023-24 season. After redshirting as a freshman, Q appeared in four games in 2024-25 – scoring five points with four rebounds and one steal in 10 total minutes played.

This past year, the 6’1 guard appeared in eight games, scoring six points with three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 19 minutes, while shooting 2-3 from beyond the arc.
