4-star WR DeAndre Moore Jr. flips to Texas from Louisville

Los Alamitos (Calif.) St. John Bosco four-star wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. has flipped his commitment to Texas from Louisville. The 5-foot-11, 189 pound wideout was previously committed to the Cardinals since May 31.

Moore Jr. is the No. 101 overall prospect and No. 17 wide receiver in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 8 player in California.

The 5-foot-11, 189-pound wideout has visited Austin three times, including on the weekend of Nov. 12 for an official. He is the third wide receiver in the Longhorns’ 2023 recruiting class alongside Desoto (Texas) four-star Johntay Cook II and Houston (Texas) Aldine Eisenhower four-star wide receiver Ryan Niblett.

Moore Jr. was previously the highest-rated prospect in Louisville’s 2023 recruiting class. Prior to the Cardinals, he was committed to Oklahoma.

The California native has an On3 NIL Valuation of $137K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

DeAndre Moore Jr. On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for DeAndre Moore Jr.:

“Quick wide receiver with the burst to create separation and pick up yards after the catch. Measured at around 5-foot-11, 190 pounds prior to his senior season. Has strong long speed, running a wind-legal 10.90 in the 100 meters as a junior. Transferred to Los Alamitos High in California for his junior season, teaming up with fellow blue-chips quarterback Malachi Nelson and wide receiver Makai Lemon. Worked both outside and in the slot, but looks most like a slot long-term.

“Uses his burst to quickly get upfield after the catch. Shows good contact balance with the ability to bounce out of and break tackles at the second level. Has the ball skills and coordination to finish through contact. Picks up yards as a rusher on speed sweeps. Also plays defensive back for Los Alamitos. Primarily utilized on short passes as a junior, averaging 14.5 yards per catch. Not as productive as some of his fellow touted wide receivers to date.”
