Oregon’s Dakorien Moore Dazzles with Jaw-Dropping TD Catch—Is He the Next Big Star?

Is Dakorien Moore the real deal or just another flash in the pan? Watching the Oregon Ducks surge to an early 20-0 lead against Oklahoma State, it’s clear this true freshman isn’t here to make up the numbers. The 18-year-old star wideout, hailed as the top-ranked receiver in the 2025 class, didn’t just catch a touchdown—he roasted the defense with some slick jukes that left jaws on the floor. Considering his modest start last week, Moore’s breakout moment has me wondering: Could this kid be the piece that propels Oregon beyond last season’s heartbreak? As the Ducks gear up for a big campaign under Dan Lanning, the sparks are flying both on and off the field in ways that might just redefine their destiny. Ready to dive into how Moore’s skills and that fiery rivalry with Oklahoma State’s coach are shaking things up? LEARN MORE.

The Oregon Ducks took an early 20-0 lead at the end of the first quarter over the Oklahoma State Cowboys. With the program off to a hot start, true freshman Dakorien Moore showed off why he was a five-star recruit after taking one to the house for the Ducks’ second score of the game.

Quarterback Dante Moore found the 18-year-old wide receiver wide open down the sideline. Dakorien Moore hauled it in, then flashed his athletic abilities by impressively juking a defender for the long touchdown score.

The score is Moore’s first of his collegiate career after only recording 26 receiving yards off of three receptions in Oregon’s 59-13 season-opening win against Montana State. We should see plenty of amazing touchdown grabs from Dakorien Moore, as he was the No. 1-ranked wideout in the 2025 recruiting class.

Saturday’s contest against Oklahoma State certainly caught the attention of sports fans, as head coaches Dan Lanning and Mike Gundy sparred jabs at one another throughout the week. Gundy blasted the Ducks for their presence in the NIL era, but Lanning wasn’t having any of it, as the Oregon coach hit Gundy with a jab of his own.

Oregon seems primed for another successful season under head coach Dan Lanning. The Ducks proved their worth last season after earning the No. 1 seed for the College Football Playoff. Unfortunately, the program suffered an early exit after being bounced out by Ohio State in the second round.

Look for Oregon to remain hot throughout the 2025-26 campaign. The team still has several weeks before it takes on any Big 10 opponents. The Ducks’ first Big 10 game will come in Week 5 when they play against the Penn State Nittany Lions on the road.
