Five-Star WR Dakorien Moore Shocks College Football, Flips Commitment from LSU to Miami
In a stunning move that’s shaken the college football recruiting world, five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore, the top-ranked WR in the 2025 class, has officially flipped his commitment from LSU to the Miami Hurricanes. The Texas native initially committed to LSU in August 2023 but decommitted in May 2024, reopening his recruitment before making a surprise pledge to Mario Cristobal’s Miami program.
Moore’s decision is not only a massive recruiting win for the Hurricanes, but it also sends a strong message about the evolving landscape of college football. Miami, known for its aggressive recruiting and NIL strategy, now adds a premier offensive weapon with elite speed, route running, and game-changing ability. Moore is expected to make an immediate impact once he arrives in Coral Gables.
Reports have swirled that LSU offered a potential NIL package worth up to $6.5 million, but those figures remain unconfirmed. Regardless, Moore’s choice appears to reflect more than just financial considerations. Sources close to the situation suggest Moore was drawn to Miami’s offensive vision, the coaching staff’s energy, and the opportunity to be a cornerstone of a rebuilding powerhouse.
This flip marks one of the biggest of the 2025 recruiting cycle and is a setback for LSU, who had hoped to keep Moore locked in as the face of their future offense. For Miami, it signals a return to national relevance in recruiting circles and could serve as a domino effect for other top prospects considering the U.
Dakorien Moore’s commitment has energized the Hurricanes fanbase—and changed the tone of the 2025 recruiting class overnight.
