NEWS JUST IN: The Longhorns immediately became the favorite for the nation’s No. 3 prospect after his decision.

Duncanville wide receiver Dakorien Moore decommitted from the LSU Tigers late Thursday on social media, despite the potential to play with the consensus No. 1 prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, quarterback Bryce Underwood.

The 5’11, 175-pounder, a major target of the Texas Longhorns, hasn’t given up on his recruitment since pledging to LSU last August, with a visit to the Forty Acres in early April and a trip to Ohio State. Moore also indicated publicly this spring that he is still contemplating Oregon.

Moore is a super blue-chip prospect with 10.4 100-meter speed and proven production at the highest level of Texas high school football, having recorded 71 catches for 1,523 yards and 18 touchdowns as a junior at Duncanville to win back-to-back 6A-DI state titles. He is ranked as the No. 3 player nationally and the No. 1 wide receiver by the 247Sports Composite.

Texas has yet to acquire commitments from 2025 wide receivers, but it remains in contention for other consensus five-star talents such as in-state product Kaliq Lockett and Florida’s Jaime Ffrench, as well as Moore’s recruiting.
