Dan Lanning looks to make Oregon one of the hottest prospects in college football and Thursday night is likely his biggest move yet.
In a move that will surprise some across the country, the No. 4 overall prospect, five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moorehas committed itself to Oregon.
Moore, a native of Duncanville, Texas, is the No. 1 ranked wide receiver for the 2025 cycle.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound player preferred the Ducks over Texas, LSUAnd State of Ohio.
Moore was once committed to LSU, from August 2023 to May 2024, but reopened his recruitment before taking a series of official visits to his final four prospects. His last official visit was to Oregon the weekend of June 21.
The visit to Oregon was only his second time on campus, so the experience was much needed for Moore and his family. The visit was crucial for Dakorien to learn about daily life in Oregon and all that goes into living in Eugene.
“It was fantastic,” his mother, Marjahn Moore, told Rivals after that visit.
“I love the staff there. The love they have for my son is so genuine that I know they will take good care of him.”
“Because it was a public transit, I was able to bring my family and my boys fell in love with the city and the people they only knew on the phone. (Dakorien) already has a great relationship with some of the players, so he was able to get their thoughts on life in Eugene.”
As a junior at Duncanville, Moore amassed 1,486 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns on 69 receptions. This was after a breakout sophomore year, in which he hauled in 44 passes for 747 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
With the addition of Moore, he is now the second five-star prospect in Oregon’s 2025 recruiting class, joining the running back Jordon Davison. He is the 15th overall effort in the class.
His efforts also help Oregon’s class move from No. 8 to T-No. 4 in the Recruiting Team Rankings 2025.
