Breaking News: Five-Star WR Dakorien Moore Decommits from LSU, Flips to Miami Hurricanes Despite $6.5M NIL Offer
In a stunning turn of
events that has rocked the college football recruiting landscape, five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore has decommitted from LSU and flipped his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes — rejecting a reported $6.5 million Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) offer in the process. Widely regarded as the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2025 recruiting class and the No. 3 overall player according to the On3 Industry Ranking, Moore’s decision has sent shockwaves through the sport.
Moore, a standout talent from Duncanville High School in Texas, originally committed to LSU in August 2023. Known for his elite speed, route running, and playmaking ability, Moore has long been a priority target for top programs across the country. In his junior season, he posted an incredible 71 receptions for 1,523 yards and 18 touchdowns, earning MaxPreps Junior All-American first-team honors.
While LSU believed they had their star receiver locked in, Moore announced via social media that he was reopening his recruitment, citing a need to reevaluate his future and do what was best for him and his family. What followed shocked fans and analysts alike: not only did Moore walk away from a multi-million dollar NIL offer, but he also committed to a Miami Hurricanes program that has quietly rebuilt its recruiting momentum under head coach Mario Cristobal.
The decision to reject such a lucrative NIL deal is rare in today’s landscape, where top prospects often chase the largest financial package available. Moore’s move suggests that factors beyond money — including scheme fit, coaching relationships, and long-term development — played a significant role in his final decision.
Miami now lands its biggest recruit in years, and the impact could be felt beyond the 2025 class. Moore’s commitment is expected to give the Hurricanes a major boost in national perception and recruiting leverage moving forward. As for LSU, the loss is significant, and their staff now faces the difficult task of reshaping their 2025 receiver group.
This unexpected flip has ignited debates across social media and college football circles, with many praising Moore for prioritizing personal fit over financial incentives. One thing is clear: the Hurricanes just landed a game-changer.
