Dakorien Moore, a highly sought-after defensive back, has officially closed his recruitment and committed to the Oregon Ducks. The four-star prospect, known for his playmaking ability and elite athleticism, had garnered interest from numerous top programs, but after months of speculation and visits, Moore has decided to stay firm with his initial commitment to Oregon.
The decision comes as a significant win for Ducks’ head coach Dan Lanning and the Oregon staff, who have been building momentum in recruiting. Moore, a standout from California, had previously announced his verbal commitment to Oregon, but in the weeks leading up to National Signing Day, rumors swirled about his recruitment still being open. Despite offers from schools like USC, Alabama, and Michigan, Moore’s loyalty to the Ducks never wavered, signaling the strength of the relationship he built with the coaching staff during his recruitment process.
At 6’0″ and 185 pounds, Moore is expected to bring a combination of size, speed, and football IQ to Oregon’s secondary. His ability to cover both wide receivers and tight ends, coupled with his knack for creating turnovers, makes him a versatile asset to the Ducks’ defense. Moore’s decision to stick with Oregon bolsters an already impressive recruiting class and adds another talented piece to a defense that has steadily improved under Lanning’s leadership.
For Oregon, retaining Moore is not only a victory on the recruiting trail but also a signal that the program is continuing to attract elite talent under the new coaching regime. As the Ducks look to build on their recent successes and compete for a national championship, Moore’s commitment is a major step forward in solidifying Oregon’s future on defense.
