Five-star wide receiver chooses Oregon over Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore committed to Oregon on Thursday night, as the hotly contested recruitment ended with Moore choosing the Longhorns.
Moore chose Oregon over Ohio State, Texas and LSU. He was originally committed to LSU, but backed off his pledge in May.
“After today, I am done with my recruitment,” Moore said on Instagram Live.
Ohio State had been interested in the Duncanville, Texas native for quite a while and hosted him on one of his four official visits back on the weekend of May 31. At 5-foot-11 and 182 pounds, Moore is the No. 3 overall player in the country and the No. 1 receiver. But the Buckeyes’ hope of landing the top receiver in a recruiting cycle for the second-straight season now appears to be over.
The Buckeyes have three commits in their wide receiver room for the 2025 class: Four-star Quincy Porter, four-star De’zie Jones and three-star Bodpegn Miller. The hope was that Moore would be the fourth in the class, but now, they’ll have to look elsewhere.
And, for whatever it’s worth, Ohio State’s chances of being the No. 1 recruiting class in the country has taken a slight hit. Alabama and LSU both have higher average player ratings (94.11, 93.73) compared to Ohio State (93.70). The Buckeyes still have the No. 1 class, but Alabama and Oregon are surging, and Georgia still only has 17 commits in the class compared to 22 for Ohio State.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Make that a trio of commitment in the Class of 2027 this week for the Louisville football program.
Cleveland (Oh.) Brush defensive end Munir Lewis announced Wednesday that he has committed to the Cardinals. He’s the third commit in the last four days for UofL, Bradenton (Fla.) Cardinal Mooney defensive lineman Kaleb Exume committing on Sunday and Tampa (Fla.) Carrollwood Day two-way athlete Brooklyn Maxey doing so on Monday.
Lewis chose Louisville out of a top seven that also consisted of Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech and Purdue. He also held offers from Cincinnati, Minnesota, Wisconsin plus several others, and made multiple visits to UofL’s campus – including this past Friday for the spring game. He’s set to return for an official visit this May.
The 6-foot-5, 245-pound defensive end is regarded as the 23rd-ranked prospect in the state of Ohio, the No. 50 edge rusher in the Class of 2027, and the No. 592 recruit in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite.
Lewis was an explosive force for Brush as a junior this past season. He collected 55 total tackles, 13.5 for loss, nine sacks, four pass breakup, a forced fumbles and over 20 quarterback pressures. He helped Brush finish the 2025 season with a 6-4 record.
Lewis is the 12th commitment in Louisville’s 2027 recruiting class, which is on pace to be the best in school history. he joins a class that not only ranks as the best class in the ACC, but the No. 8 class in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite. Four of their commitments are regarded as four-star prospects by the composite.
He’s also the latest in a budding pipeline to the state of Ohio, which has been championed by Executive Director of Football Personnel and Recruiting Vince Marrow. Five of Louisville’s 12 commitments in the 2027 cycle are from the Buckeye State, with three hailing from the Cincinnati area and the other two coming from Cleveland.
