WATCH: 5-Star WR Commit Dakorien Moore Shows Elite Speed
LSU picked up a commitment from Duncanville (Tex.) five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore earlier this month as the Tigers continue taking strides in the right direction with the 2025 recruiting class.
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.
Now, Moore has kicked off his junior campaign in dominant fashion. On Friday, he shined. Moore went off in Week 1 of the high school football season after reeling in seven catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns.
The Ability to Change 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.
On Friday, Moore topped out at 22.6 miles per hour on a touchdown run down the sideline. Once in open space, his virtually impossible to track down, as shown on Friday night in Duncanville's season opener.
Watch Moore showcase his elite speed:
Advanced Route Running
Despite Moore 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.
