“ Dakorien Moore was one of the most explosive and dangerous true freshmen in the country on a per-game basis, showcasing the elite speed and high-end ball skills that made him a Five-Star Plus+ prospect and the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2025 class,” Rivals ‘ Charles Power wrote in his On3 True Freshman All-American selections. “The Duncanville ( Texas ) High product gave Oregonan instant vertical threat and quickly became a focal point of the Ducks’ offense, finishing the regular season with 28 receptions for 443 yards and three touchdowns, along with 49 rushing yards and another score.”
“Moore was Oregon’s leading receiver before sustaining a knee injury in practice that sidelined him for the final four games of the regular season. The injury was not considered season-ending, leaving open the possibility of a return for the Ducks in the College Football Playoff. The electric freshman was one of several standout newcomers on Oregon’s offense, joining running backs Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill as impact freshmen.”
