Scouting Report: What LSU Is Getting In 5-Star WR Dakorien Moore

Brian Kelly dips into Texas once again, reels in the five-star wideout.

LSU picked up a commitment from Duncanville (Tex.) five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore on Saturday as the Tigers get the 2025 class jump started.

Moore, the No. 2 wideout in America, revealed his pledge to Brian Kelly’s program after making a trip to Baton Rouge in late July for LSU’s Bayou Splash recruiting event.

The No. 1 player in Texas joined teammates Colin Simmons and Caden Durham for the trip, and after getting the red carpet treatment from the Tigers, Moore decided to shut down his recruiting process early and commit to LSU.

The Tigers secured a commitment from Durham on Thursday with Kelly and Co. now forming a Duncanville to LSU pipeline down South.

What is this program getting in Moore? What makes him so special?

The scouting report on LSU’s five-star pledge:

Advanced Route Running

Despite Moore only entering his junior year of high school, he’s an exceptional route runner for his age. He’s fluid and has the ability to get vertical in the blink of an eye which carved his way to an impressive sophomore campaign with Duncanville in 2022.

Moore showcased his advanced game during camps this summer as well. He’s a maniac in 7-on-7, giving cornerbacks fits at every stop he made. Even when defenders may think he’s covered, Moore’s twitchiness gets him open instantly to make a play.

Changing Gears

LSU added both Caden Durham and Jelani Watkins to its 2024 recruiting class this month where the pair of speedsters will also run track for the Tigers once on campus. Now, the purple and gold add another track and field standout in Moore.

The five-star wide receiver is exceptional in open space, but his ability to switch gears up and down is what makes him special when going vertical. Off the line, he’s twitchy, and once he’s upping his ears downfield, good luck staying in front of him.

Ball Skills

Moore can pinpoint the ball at its highest point and use physicality to reel in contested catches on a routine basis. A player standing around the 5-foot-11, 6-foot range, he won’t be a player LSU relies on for jump balls, but he’s a guy who can make the tough plays when needed.

He has advanced hands as he enters his junior season and the strength was shown during his sophomore campaign. He’s a downfield target who will have significant yards per catch if utilized correctly. Moore can change pace, get open vertically and give the Tigers another elite-level wideout for the future.
