The Tigers landed a player to build the 2025 recruiting class around over the weekend when they landed five-star Duncanville, Texas, receiver [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag].
Moore, who ranks as the No. 10 overall prospect in 2025 according to On3, is the highest-rated commit in LSU’s class. And as we’ve seen, being a top-tier prospect is a lucrative game.
Since committing to the Tigers, Moore has seen a significant uptick in his name, image and likeness valuation from On3, seeing a $38,000 increase to $214,000. Moore can’t currently capitalize on that as high school athletes are not permitted to sign NIL deals in Texas, but he will certainly have his pick when he gets to college.
On Saturday, just 48 hours removed from four-star running back Caden Durham announcing his commitment to LSU, his Duncanville teammate Dakorien Moore followed suit and pledged to the Tigers. It was a crucial two days for LSU. A five-star and the No. 2 wide receiver prospect on the On3 Industry Rankings or the 2025 recruiting cycle, Moore had 44 receptions for 764 yards and six touchdowns last season. He averaged 17.4 yards per catch for the Texas 6A D-I state champions. While he can’t sign NIL agreements as a high school athlete in Texas, he has nearly 40,000 social media followers.
“I liked just the vibes and energy from the coaches,” Moore told The Bengal Tiger staff. “It’s a cool place, to play ball and to just live around. They have always been at the top for me. It’s just WRU. You’re wrong if you didn’t have LSU at the top as a wideout.”
Between gymnast [autotag]Livvy Dunne[/autotag] and women’s basketball stars [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag], LSU is quickly becoming an NIL destination. Now, the football program could also be getting in on that action with one of the top players in the 2025 recruiting class.
