His decommitment shook up the recruiting cycle and he re-opened his recruitment to a handful of top programs. On July 4, Moore made his decision. He plans to, \u201cchoose the path to be different and build a legacy,\u201d at Oregon. He chose the Ducks in a hotly-contested recruitment war with Texas and Ohio State. In the weeks leading up to the early signing period, he completely shut down his recruitment and shut down any rumors of flipping.<\/p>\n<h2>Top-Rated 2025 Wide Receiver Dakorien Moore Signs With Oregon<\/h2>\n<p><em>247Sports<\/em> has Moore as the top-rated wide receiver recruit in the 2025 cycle and the eighth-best overall player.<\/p>\n<p>Moore is considered one of the more complete high school receiver recruits and his play at Duncanville High School in Texas has justified that. He has serious after-the-catch explosivity and ran a 10.40 100 and 21.70 200 as a track team member. As a junior, Moore logged over 21 yards per catch in a 70-catch, 1,500-plus-yard, 18-touchdown season.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t have elite size but he makes up for it in every metric. He has an impressive catch radius and can score from anywhere on the field.<\/p>\n<p><em>247Sports<\/em>\u00a0reports that he has a developed route tree and is a polished route runner. He can create separation from anywhere and overwhelms defensive backs with his impressive agility. At Duncanville, he gets to catch passes from future Alabama quarterback and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/2024\/05\/24\/future-big-10-quarterbacks-selected-for-elite-11-finals\/\" target=\"_self\">Elite 11 Finals MVP<\/a>, Keelon Russell. The pair will be looking to bring home a third consecutive Texas 6-A D-I State title this fall. He and Duncanville are set to play in the quarterfinals this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>He is compared to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/chris-olave-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Olave<\/a>\u00a0and has the potential to be just as high of an NFL Draft pick, according to scouts. Moore is more than capable of doing anything and everything asked of him as a receiver and will likely contend for snaps as a true freshman.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_69675\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69675\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-69675\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dakorien moore\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24088522_168400536_lowres-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-69675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy: \u00a0Ben Lonergan\/The Register-Guard \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dakorien Moore is the top-rated wide receiver of the 2025 recruiting class and is the cherry on top of an incredible Oregon class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4051,"featured_media":69675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,2,17],"tags":[34478,277],"class_list":["post-69663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bigten","category-featured","category-news","tag-dakorien-moore","tag-oregon-ducks"],"modified_by":"Michael Kovacs, ADMIN","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4051"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69663"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69677,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69663\/revisions\/69677"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
