Moore re-opens recruitment after long-time LSU pledge
If there’s a position coach on Ohio State’s staff who tends to get the players he wants, it’s Brian Hartline. An elite recruiter, Hartline has dominated receiver recruiting every year he’s been on staff, proving again and again that he’s the best in the country.
Regardless of class, location, or status, Hartline goes after who he wants, and most of the time, he wins out in the end. Expecting nothing but the same in 2025, the staff has their fair share of top targets, and late last night some major progress may have been made toward one specific player as Dakorien Moore backed off of his commitment to LSU and re-opened his recruitment.
The No. 3 player nationally and top receiver in the 2025 class per the 247Sports Composite grades, Moore had been committed to LSU since last August, but over the last few months, it has felt like the Tigers were losing ground to other top suitors; including OSU as he was recently in Columbus for an unofficial visit.
But don’t get too excited yet, Buckeye fans, shortly after Moore confirmed his decommitment, it was Texas that gained a bevy of crystal ball predictions. Though the home-state Longhorns may have the upper hand, you cannot count out Hartline when he has his eyes set on a top target. Ohio State has been fortunate to land the nation’s top receiver multiple times during the position coach’s tenure and they’ll do everything they can to make that happen again in 2025.
Texas and Oregon are the biggest threats here and yes Texas has the momentum, but don’t count OSU out on this one.
