Elite WR Joshua Moore flips commitment from Florida to Miami

Pembroke Pines (Fla.) West Broward four-star wide receiver Joshua Moore has decommitted from Florida and committed to Miami, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

He was pledged to the in-state Gators since June 26.

Moore is the No. 129 overall prospect and No. 17 wideout 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. 23 player in Florida.

On3 ranks Moore much higher than other recruiting services. He checks in at No. 41 overall, No. 8 at the WR position and No. 4 in the Sunshine State, per the updated 2025 On300.

Florida State and Miami were also heavily in the mix for Moore’s pledge ahead of his commitment to UF and the blue-chipper had never closed the door on his communication with other schools.

Joshua Moore Scouting Summary

On3 writes this of Moore as a prospect:

“High upside pass catcher with the traits to become a high-end X receiver. One of the most physically imposing top wide receivers in the 2025 cycle. Measured at around 6-foot-4, 205 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position. Has the frame to top out at 220+ once he gets in a college strength program. Moves like a much smaller player. Shows the ability to stack corners off the line of scrimmage. Can gear down and drop his weight within his routes. Runs well and has the ability to separate vertically. Size, length and vertical bounce give him a large catch radius when his technique is aligned. Flashes body control in contested situations.

…Capable of coming down with fantastic one-handed grabs. Physical and tough to bring down after the catch. Totaled close to 1,900 yards and 20 touchdowns between his sophomore and junior seasons. Will have to improve the finer points to his game with route-running and overall technique. Can improve catching cleanly with proper technique. Allows the ball to get into his body at times. One of the youngest top wide receivers in the 2025 cycle, turning 17 years-old in April of his junior year. Developmental projection at receiver with a very high ceiling with continued development.”
