Five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore decommitted from LSU this week.

"After careful and extensive consideration, my family and I have decided that it is in my best interest to decommit from LSU," he said in a statement. "I want to emphasize that despite this decision, I will not be considering any recruitment offers."

Moore is the No. 1 wideout and third-best overall prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2025 class.

Ohio State, Texas, Oregon and Alabama were among the notable schools that had offered him a scholarship. Three experts from 247Sports project the Duncanville, Texas, native to stay home and land with the Longhorns.

Arch Manning will be in his third season by 2025, which makes Texas an attractive landing spot for a skilled pass-catcher. Head coach Steve Sarkisian can also point to Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell being selected in the first and second round of the 2024 NFL draft respectively to show he can help to develop wide receivers.

Losing Moore is a blow to LSU, but the Tigers remain sixth in 247Sports' composite team rankings for 2025. They have a commitment from Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 quarterback, along with 4-star running back Harlem Berry.

Head coach Brian Kelly and his staff have plenty of time to look elsewhere for help at the receiver position as well. A number of the top-ranked players remain uncommitted.
