Five-star wide receiver chooses Oregon over Ohio State

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.

What do we know about the man police say killed a Cleveland officer?

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – We’re learning more about the man police say fatally shot that Cleveland police officer on the city’s East side Thursday morning.

The suspect, 24-year-old Delawnte Hardy ― who also goes by “Tay” ― was arrested and charged with aggravated murder.

Available public records don’t reflect that Hardy has a criminal history, although police were serving him with a warrant at the time of the incident. Records do indicate he graduated high school in 2017 and attended some college, majoring in business.

Hardy doesn’t appear to be very active on social media. He does, however, claim to be an aspiring artist. On Instagram, he posted some violent drawings ― one showing himself as an emoji holding a gun.

Some of his video reels are hard to understand. One he posted on July 3rd of last year shows him smoking a cigar as he ranted.

Team Coverage: Cleveland Police Officer Jamieson Ritter killed in line of duty

“The Lord told David to take off Goliath’s head, we about to take these ni***’s heads off,” Hardy said.

Police say the shooting happened in the 1500 Block of E. 80th St. around 1 a.m. in Cleveland’s Hough neighborhood. Officers were attempting to serve Hardy a warrant for felonious assault. When they arrived, they saw him leaving on this bicycle. They say they tried to stop him, but Hardy fired shots, fatally killing one of the officers.

Now investigators are working to piece things together and reconstruct what happened, but they’ll likely never understand the reason why.

Hardy is expected to be arraigned tomorrow. As for the warrant for felonious assault — we couldn’t find any records of that charge.
