The Tennessee Volunteers have just landed one of the biggest commitments in program history as five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore has announced his pledge to the Vols. Originally committed to LSU, the Duncanville (Texas) standout flipped his commitment to Tennessee in a shocking decision that sends waves through the college football recruiting world.
Moore, widely regarded as one of the most explosive wide receivers in the 2025 class, chose Tennessee over powerhouse programs such as LSU, Texas, and Ohio State. The 5’11”, 185-pound playmaker is known for his elite speed, precise route-running, and ability to make defenders miss in the open field. His commitment immediately elevates Tennessee’s 2025 recruiting class into the national spotlight.
“Tennessee just felt like the right place for me,” Moore said during his announcement. “Coach Heupel and his staff showed me how I fit perfectly into their offense, and I can’t wait to get to Knoxville and be a part of something special.”
Under head coach Josh Heupel, Tennessee has developed a reputation for its fast-paced, high-scoring offense. With Moore in the mix, the Vols now have a dynamic weapon who can stretch the field and dominate in one-on-one situations.
Recruiting analyst Chad Simmons praised the move, stating, “Dakorien Moore is a difference-maker. His speed, hands, and football IQ make him a nightmare for defenses. Tennessee is getting a future star who can make an impact from day one.”
With key departures expected at wide receiver after the 2024 season, Moore has a legitimate chance to see early playing time. His versatility allows him to play both inside and outside receiver positions, making him a valuable asset for Tennessee’s offense.
The Vols’ recruiting momentum is now stronger than ever, with Moore’s commitment potentially influencing other top prospects to consider Tennessee.
“I want to bring more elite players with me to Knoxville,” Moore added. “We’re building something special, and I want to be part of the team that brings championships back to Tennessee.”
Moore is expected to enroll early at Tennessee, allowing him to participate in spring practices and get a head start on learning the offense. With his commitment, the Vols continue their rise as a serious contender in the SEC and beyond.
