Five-star wide receiver DeAndre Moore will announce his college commitment at 5 p.m. ET Friday live on CBS Sports HQ. Moore has narrowed his choices down to Oklahoma, Alabama, USC, Oregon and Florida State. You can watch the announcement live in the video at the top of this page, on the CBS Sports App or via your connected device (Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV).
The 247Sports Crystal Ball predicts that he will choose to play for Oklahoma and coach Lincoln Riley.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder is ranked No. 33 overall and third among wide receivers in the Class of 2023. He transferred to Los Alamitos (California) High School this offseason after his 2020 season at Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’ve been praying every night before I got to bed and first thing when I wake up and I feel ready,” Moore said (via 247Sports). “I wasn’t planning to commit this early but I know what I want to do and this is the direction I feel God is taking me. I think if you know what you want to do, there’s no point in putting it off. I know where I want to go and fee peace about it so it’s good to make my decision so I can now just focus on school and football.”
Moore is listed as a wide receiver, but also stars at safety on defense.
247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins had this scouting report on Moore:
Moore is a two-way player and a legitimate top 100 prospect nationally at receiver and safety. He has a solid frame, well muscled but isn’t stiff and is fluid in how he moves. At receiver, he has very good body control, strong hands and is excellent in jump ball situations. As a safety, he’s a smart, high IQ player with a lot of range. He’s a physical kid who is always around the ball. He’s a willing hitter and solid in coverage as well. He has good ball skills and ball awareness on both sides of the ball and although he prefers receiver, he might have more long term upside in the secondary. He runs well but can continue to improve athletically in both his short area quickness and long speed but has all the tools to be an impact player at the next level and has NFL upside as well.
