Oregon Ducks fans have every reason to be excited about their future as Dakorien Moore, the nation’s top-rated wide receiver prospect, continues to make waves in high school football. This past Friday night, Moore showcased his elite talent, scoring three touchdowns in a commanding 41-17 victory for the Duncanville Panthers against Waxahachie.
Moore, who has already committed to the Ducks, proved why he is a five-star recruit, flashing his incredible speed and playmaking ability. He finished the game with eight receptions for a staggering 147 yards, catching three of the six touchdown passes thrown by 5-star Alabama commit Keelon Russell, who had an impressive performance himself with 351 passing yards.
The highlight of Moore’s night came early in the first quarter. With just over four minutes remaining, he caught a pass in the heart of the Waxahachie defense and sprinted past defenders for a 38-yard touchdown. His second touchdown followed shortly after, as he secured a 29-yard reception that pushed Duncanville ahead 20-7 midway through the second quarter.
While Moore was the star of the game, his performance in the previous week against nationally ranked St. Frances Academy drew significant attention as well. Though he faced heavy coverage, his presence allowed other talented receivers on the Panthers’ roster to shine. This speaks volumes about Moore’s ability to impact the game, even when he’s not the focal point.
Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 185 pounds, Moore is not just a football star but also a track athlete, adding to his impressive athletic profile. His junior year saw him lead Duncanville to its second consecutive UIL 6A Division I state championship, amassing 1,523 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns.
