Texas now trending for Five-Star Plus+ WR Dakorien Moore

Late Thursday evening, Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Dakorien Moore announced that he has decommitted from LSU.

Pledged to the Tigers since August, Moore has continued to express interest in a trio of other programs: Texas, Ohio State and Oregon.

Moore told On3’s Chad Simmons in April that he was still open to the three teams looking to flip him, and one of those programs is emerging now that he is back on the board. Multiple predictions have now been logged by recruiting insiders throughout the industry in favor of Texas landing Moore’s pledge.

Over a month ago on April 7, InsideTexas’ Eric Nahlin was the first to predict Moore to the Longhorns, as he logged a pick for Steve Sarkisian and Co. to flip the top-ranked wideout in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).

“No serious people took (Moore’s) early commitment to LSU as being set in stone. We’re now nearing the point where fact patterns truly matter. The current fact pattern points in UT’s favor,” Nahlin wrote.

Moore, who’s last visit was to Ohio State, was in Austin last month and is expected to return for an official visit. He told On3 that the Longhorns were “applying pressure” in his recruitment.

“They’re putting me around the players, I haven’t seen a practice from them, so this past weekend when I went there they showed me practice, got me around the players, I got to ask questions and got to really feel what it was like being an athlete there,” he told Simmons of the visit.

LSU, Ohio State and Oregon are all also expected to receive official visits from the 5-foot-11, 175-pounder. In Moore’s announcement on Thursday, he noted that he will not considering any new recruitment offers. He doubled down on Friday morning, posting to X “my recruitment is not opened up.”

Moore is the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 1 WR and No. 1 player in Texas.

“I really can’t put it into words. I’m really just seeing what everybody else has got to offer,” Moore said of what it would take to flip him in April. “Of course what LSU showed me got me to commit, so that’s where I’m at, but I’m really just seeing the little things piece by piece, seeing what everybody else has got to show me.”
