Ever since Lincoln Riley left for USC, it was expected that many of his top 2023 commits at Oklahoma would follow him to Los Angeles.

Los Alamitos (Calif.) High teammates Malachi Nelson, a Five-Star Plus+ quarterback, and four-star wide receiver Makai Lemon both did so within a week. Nobody else from the 2023 Sooners class has joined them — yet.

Four-star wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr., who also attends Los Alamitos (Calif.) High, is likely to join his high school teammates at USC. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives the Trojans a 61.6% chance of landing Moore.

DeAndre Moore Jr. would be a massive win for USC

DeAndre Moore Jr., who decommitted from Oklahoma at the end of January, is an elite recruit in the 2023 cycle. He is the No. 50 overall recruit in the class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

His commitment would give the Trojans three wide receiver prospects ranked in the top 50 of the On3 Consensus along with the second-best quarterback in the cycle in Nelson.

Moore told On3’s Sam Spiegelman over the weekend that he plans to take official visits to five schools: Alabama, Louisville, Oregon, Texas and USC.

“SC is home,” Moore told Spiegelman. “SC is SC. The new coaching staff there is all from Oklahoma and I felt that type of way when he was there at Oklahoma and it’s the same thing now. They’re in my backyard, so it’s a no-brainer. I’m close with a lot of their commits like Zachariah Branch. We have a great relationship. USC is definitely one of my top schoools.”

Moore has an On3 NIL Valuation of $9.3k. 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.
