Dakorien Moore ‘attacking the offseason’ ahead of sophomore campaign
After an injury-plagued freshman campaign, Dakorien Moore is "attacking" the spring season before his second season.
At this time last year, the anticipation in Eugene was massive, buzzing around the city and throughout campus. The Oregon Ducks had signed five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore , the No. 1 receiver in the country in the 2025 class, and he figured to make an immediate impact.
As expected, he did. Moore started the season red-hot with a two-touchdown game against Oklahoma State, which included hauling a 65-yard score for his first touchdown catch from on a throw from Dante Moore . The Moore-to-Moore connection was as advertised, even leading the Ducks with seven catches for 89 yards on the road in a win against Penn State.
From day one, Moore was not just the average freshman. However, things came to a screeching halt when Moore suffered a non-contact knee injury in practice in November. He missed the final four games of the regular season before returning for the College Football Playoff, but his impact was minimal.
Moore made just six catches in Oregon's three postseason games against James Madison, Texas Tech and Indiana, and failed to find the end zone. Oregon wide receiver coach Ross Douglas hasn't lost any faith in the Ducks' star wideout. In fact, his belief might have only grown with the effort Moore has put in so far this offseason.
