Moore (6-4, 210 pounds) had 31 receptions for 510 yards and five touchdowns in six games with West Broward. Moore was previously highlighted by Gators Illustrated in its recruiting roundups for Weeks 2, 3, and 4. The possibility of playing alongside current freshman quarterback DJ Lagway, who is being prepared to take over the offense next season, was a major draw for Moore prior to his Florida commitment. Development, guidance in the classroom, and a quarterback. They [UF] acquired a quarterback, a general. “Everyone else lacks a quarterback,” Moore remarked following his June 2 visit.
However, the Hurricanes have been a consistent force in his recruitment, especially after a midweek visit in September immediately after the Gators’ season-opening 41-17 loss to Miami, which he was in attendance for and after which he said he was still “100% a Gator.”
Moore consistently visited with Miami over the last few weeks but also remained a familiar face in Gainesville with his most-recent visit coming on Saturday in the Gators’ 24-13 win over UCF.
Moore’s flip leaves the Gators with two receiver commits in this cycle with four-star Vernell Brown III (Orlando, Fla.) and four-star Naeshaun Montgomery (West Palm Beach, Fla.). In what was previously borderline top-20 class, Florida’s 2025 recruiting class has dropped to a borderline top-30 ranking, according to both On3 and 247 Sports.
Florida is now left with 12 total commits for this cycle.
