Four-star Tre Moore sets official visit date with Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns continue to build momentum on the recruiting trail as the offseason rolls on, and this week brought a notable development for their 2027 class. Four-star wide receiver Tre Moore has officially set the date for his visit to Austin, locking in an official trip to the Forty Acres from June 5–7. For head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff, simply getting one of the top receivers in the state on campus represents an important early victory in what is shaping up to be a competitive recruitment.

Moore has rapidly emerged as one of the most intriguing offensive prospects in the 2027 cycle. The Pflugerville High School standout is currently ranked by 247Sports as the No. 24 wide receiver in the nation. He also checks in as the No. 22 overall player in Texas and the No. 161 overall prospect nationally, underscoring his status as one of the premier young playmakers in the Lone Star State. Recruiting rankings can fluctuate over time, especially for prospects this early in their high school careers, but Moore’s combination of production, athleticism, and upside has firmly placed him on the radar of elite programs.

His rise comes on the heels of a breakout sophomore campaign in 2024. Moore hauled in 38 receptions for 562 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 14 yards per catch. Those numbers only tell part of the story. On film, he shows the ability to separate off the line of scrimmage, track the ball naturally downfield, and make contested catches in traffic. Whether lining up outside or working from the slot, Moore consistently found ways to stress opposing defenses. His route-running polish at this stage of his development has drawn praise from evaluators, and his frame suggests there is still room to add strength as he continues to mature physically.

That production has translated into scholarship offers from several major programs. In addition to Texas, Moore holds offers from the Alabama Crimson Tide, Baylor Bears, Arkansas Razorbacks, Arizona State Sun Devils, and Duke Blue Devils. The presence of multiple Power Five programs—particularly a perennial contender like Alabama—signals that Moore’s recruitment is likely to intensify over the next two years. As more national programs evaluate the 2027 class, his offer list could expand even further.

For Texas, the timing of the visit is significant. Official visits often play a pivotal role in shaping a recruit’s perception of a program. Over the course of a weekend, prospects are able to tour facilities, meet with position coaches, spend time with current players, and get a feel for campus life in Austin. Sarkisian and his staff will undoubtedly emphasize their offensive philosophy, player development track record, and the opportunities available both on and off the field. Under Sarkisian, Texas has leaned into a modern, pass-friendly scheme that highlights wide receiver versatility and creativity, something that could resonate strongly with a player of Moore’s skill set.

The Longhorns’ 2027 class already has a promising foundation. Four-star wide receiver Easton Royal is among the early headliners, giving Texas a strong start at the position. The class also includes three-star edge rusher Cameron Hall, three-star tight end JT Geraci, and three-star linebacker Cade Haug. While it is still early in the cycle, assembling talent at multiple positions this far in advance speaks to the staff’s proactive approach. Adding Moore would elevate the overall ceiling of the class and potentially create one of the more dynamic receiver pairings in the 2027 group.

There is also a broader strategic element at play. Recruiting in-state talent has long been a priority for Texas, especially given the depth of high school football in Texas. Keeping a top-25 receiver in-state and on the Forty Acres would send a message about the program’s ability to defend its home turf against SEC and national powers. With the Longhorns competing at the highest level and seeking to sustain long-term success, stacking elite skill-position players is essential.

Moore’s visit in early June could mark a turning point in his recruitment. If the Longhorns can create momentum during that weekend—through relationships, vision, and development plans—they may position themselves as a frontrunner. However, with several major programs involved and plenty of time before National Signing Day in 2027, the process remains fluid. For now, Texas has accomplished an important first step: getting one of the state’s top wide receivers to campus for an official look at what the program has to offer.
