Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Dakorien Moore will announce his commitment on Thursday, July 4, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

He will choose between Oregon, LSU, Ohio State and Texas.

The 5-foot-11, 186-pounder decommitted from LSU in May after having been pledged to the Tigers since August. Texas, Ohio State and Oregon have been solidly in the mix following his decommitment, and each received an official visit in June.

And despite backing off his pledge to Brian Kelly and Co., Moore returned to Baton Rouge for an official visit last month as well.

However, it’s the in-state Longhorns who are trending in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) heading into his second commitment decision.

Moore previously broke down each of his top four schools

At the On3 Elite Series event in late May, Moore talked about each of the schools remaining in his recruitment, including what he hoped to see from LSU prior to his visit there.

Ohio State: I love how competitive they are. That was the first thing I noticed when I stepped foot on campus. I could just feel the energy when I walked through the facility. Then after watching practice, I saw evervody have the same focus. They all locked in on football and want to win. They’re a big family, and it’s big city out there. Not too rowdy, it’s kind of calm but there’s stuff to do out there. And they have a huge fan base and a lot of support out there.

Texas: It’s always going to be home. It’s close to family, so that’s one major thing it could come down to when I’m thinking about Texas. Obviously they got great NIL, everybody knows that. But I’m looking forward to seeing something else besides that and seeing what they’ve got to show me. They’ve developed players since they pulled them in, and even players that haven’t been so big out of high school.

Oregon: I love how open I can be when I’m out there. Their uniforms and their style, they’re just different. It’s unique, and it’s not really comparable to any other school I’m looking at. I just think they have great coaches in general. Coach Lanning knows how to judge people, and he is a good judge of character. And he’s really good at building relationships and getting people to trust him. I feel like that reels the great players in. And with Coach Adams, he’s just a well-rounded good coach, good mentor and a good person to be around.

LSU: “I haven’t seen everything that I need to with LSU. They were kind of behind in the beginning, even though I’ve been down there numerous times and stuff like that. All three of my other schools showed me a lot upfront, and I feel like LSU was behind so I need to see more from them. I’m taking this visit to see that.

… I need to see how they develop their players outside of just football, and obviously they have a great program — some of the greats have come from there. But I want to see something outside of that.”

Moore is the No. 3 overall prospect, No.1 wide receiver and top recruit from Texas in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
