Oregon Five-Star Plus+ WR commit Dakorien Moore shuts down recruitment

Dominoes are falling left and right in the recruiting world, but Oregon doesn’t have to worry about losing its class jewel.

On Thursday night, Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Dakorien Moore, the nation’s No. 4 overall prospect, told On3’s Hayes Fawcett that he’s shut down his recruitment and will sign with the Ducks on Dec. 4.

“Oregon family, let’s build something special! Recruitment officially closed,” Moore told Fawcett.

The 5-foot-11, 186-pounder committed to Oregon on July 4 after backing off a pledge to LSU earlier in his process. He chose Dan Lanning and Co. over the Tigers, Ohio State and in-state Texas. Moore visited LSU this fall, but is set to head to Eugene to play his college football.

Ducks receivers coach Junior Adams headed the charge for Moore this summer alongside Ra’Shaad Samples. Oregon offered Moore a different look at life on and off the field and it eventually won out in what was a hotly-contested recruitment.

“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,” Moore said of Oregon at the On3 Elite Series in May. “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.”

Moore has been on a tear during his senior season at Duncanville. Teaming up with Five-Star Plus+ quarterback and Alabama commit Keelon Russell, Moore has torched opposing defenses all fall long. Duncanville is 11-0 and amidst a state title run.

Moore headlines another elite recruiting class for the Ducks

Moore is one of three five-stars and one of six top-100 prospects committed to Oregon this cycle. The Ducks currently have the No. 7 class in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

Tampa Bay Tech five-star WR Dallas Wilson and Shaker Heights (Ohio) five-star safety Trey McNutt headline the class alongside Moore. Oregon has continued to win recruiting battles all across the nation, with this class being a prime example of Lanning and his staff proving their worth on the trail.

Owings Mills (Md.) McDonogh School four-star cornerback Brandon Finney is now the No. 37 recruit in the nation, while Conroe (Texas) four-star CB Dorian Brew now checks in at No. 60 overall. The pair committed within four days of each other at the end of June.

Other blue-chippers in the mix for the Ducks include: Las Vegas Bishop Gorman four-star interior offensive lineman Douglas Utu, Tampa Carrollwood Day four-star offensive tackle Ziyare Addison, Fullerton (Calif.) Troy four-star tight end Vander Ploog, Scottsdale (Ariz.) Notre Dame Prep four-star WR Cooper Perry, Belleville (Ill.) Althoff Catholic four-star running back Dierre Hill and San Diego Lincoln four-star quarterback Akili Smith Jr.
