In a bit of a twist, one-time LSU receiver commit [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag] announced his commitment to Oregon on Thursday night.
Moore is a five-star who ranks as the top receiver and No. 3 overall recruit in the nation, and he committed to the Tigers back in August. The Duncanville, Texas, prospect backed off that pledge in May, however, and was widely predicted to end up at Texas.
He threw everyone for a loop on Thursday, announcing his commitment to the Ducks, who enter their first season in the Big Ten. Moore committed to Oregon over LSU, the Longhorns and Ohio State.

It’s a tough break for LSU, which will now look elsewhere for a top-tier receiver commit in the 2025 class.
