In a dramatic twist to the 2024 college football recruiting cycle, five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore has officially flipped his commitment from his previous school to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
The highly coveted prospect from Louisiana, widely regarded as one of the top wide receivers in the country, made the announcement earlier today, sending shockwaves through both the recruiting world and the Big Ten.
Moore, who had previously committed to another SEC powerhouse, had been a focal point of national recruiting attention due to his exceptional skills as a wide receiver.
With blazing speed, outstanding route-running ability, and impressive hands, Moore had emerged as one of the most sought-after players in the 2024 recruiting class. His decision to decommit and choose Ohio State over his original commitment has added even more fuel to the already intense rivalry between the Buckeyes and other elite programs.
“I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my future and what’s best for me both on and off the field,” Moore said in a statement released via social media. “After visiting Ohio State again, I felt this was the right place for me to develop as a player and a person.
The coaching staff, the culture, and the opportunity to compete for national championships with the best—it all came together. I’m excited to announce that I’m now fully committed to Ohio State.”
Moore’s commitment to Ohio State is a major boost to the Buckeyes’ recruiting class, which has already been ranked among the top classes in the country. His decision comes on the heels of a strong recruiting push by Ohio State, which has steadily built one of the most dynamic and productive offenses in college football under head coach Ryan Day. The addition of Moore gives Ohio State a potential game-changer at the wide receiver position, alongside their already impressive stable of young talent.
