The Under Armour All-America Game has long been a stage where high school football’s elite showcase their skills for a national audience. It’s more than just a game—it’s a declaration of future dominance.
With the 2025 and 2026 classes loaded with talent, Spec Martin Stadium in Orlando is set to host two days of action featuring future collegiate stars. Anticipation is already building, fueled by the reactions of selected players.
Among them, Ohio State’s five-star cornerback and the nation’s top recruit, Devin Sanchez of North Shore High School, couldn’t hide his excitement upon seeing a familiar name on the roster.
Sanchez, a cornerstone of Ryan Day’s 2025 recruiting class, kept it simple yet impactful on his Instagram story. Sharing a graphic from The Upperclassmen Report that revealed the All-American rosters, Sanchez wrote, “Get righ.”
The post highlighted several standout names, but what caught Sanchez’s attention was Dakorien Moore, a fellow five-star recruit from Duncanville and the crown jewel of Oregon’s 2025 class.
The connection wasn’t just about the roster—it was a shared bond between two Texas standouts, now destined to compete on the national stage.
Moore’s Journey to All-America Stardom
Dakorien Moore, Oregon’s prized wide receiver signee, has had a meteoric rise. Known for his blazing speed and relentless work ethic, Moore has terrorized defenses throughout his high school career.
Although his Duncanville team fell short in a dramatic 36-34 loss to North Crowley in the Texas 6A Division I semifinals, Moore’s season was nothing short of spectacular. He earned unanimous District 11-6A Offensive Player of the Year honors and solidified his reputation as one of the nation’s most electrifying playmakers.
The connection between Sanchez and Moore goes beyond a simple Instagram shoutout. Both hail from powerhouse programs—North Shore and Duncanville—that define Texas high school football excellence.
These schools don’t just produce players; they create stars. As Sanchez and Moore prepare to suit up for Ohio State and Oregon, their shared Texas roots ensure their rivalry will carry extra intensity when they eventually meet on opposite sidelines.
The Buckeyes, Ducks, and a Clash of Titans
As the Under Armour All-America rosters take shape, Alabama leads with seven selections, followed by Florida and Oregon with six each. But the real intrigue lies in the matchups.
When Moore and Sanchez face off next season, it won’t just be a showdown of five-star recruits—it’ll be a battle of the best in their class: the No. 1 wide receiver against the No. 1 cornerback. It’s a matchup that scouts dream of and fans can’t wait to see.
Dez Bryant Weighs In on Moore’s Potential
Dakorien Moore’s talent hasn’t just caught the attention of future rivals—it’s also impressed NFL legend Dez Bryant. The former Dallas Cowboys star was in Allen, Texas, to watch the Texas 6A Division I state semifinals and witnessed Moore’s jaw-dropping performance.
“@OregonFootball I’m at the game, and I just saw DKM do some crazy s*** for 6… y’all got 1 for sure!” Bryant tweeted after Moore turned a routine catch into a dazzling 59-yard touchdown, juking defenders along the way.
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning couldn’t have been prouder. “Dakorien is someone I love talking about,” Lanning said. “He didn’t need to prove anything in that game, but he’s the type of player who wants to show his talent every chance he gets.”
With Devin Sanchez, Dakorien Moore, and an impressive roster of talent confirmed for the Under Armour All-America Game on Jan. 1-2, fans are in for a treat.
Expect fireworks on the field as the next generation of college football stars takes center stage. And in the stands? Expect notable figures like Dez Bryant and Dan Lanning keeping a close eye on the action.
