The No. 1 high school wide receiver in the nation chose the ideal way to celebrate the Fourth of July and announce his future football plans.
Dakorien Moore of Duncanville High School (Texas) lit off non-aerial fireworks on Thursday with smoke that revealed which of the four colleges he was considering—LSU, Ohio State, Oregon, and Texas—stood as his top choice.
After ignition, a couple of rockets shot off and eventually green smoke filled out of the box, signaling the talented wideout had chosen Eugene, Oregon, as his next stop.
Moore, who had a shirt lying face-down on a car behind the show, picked it up and revealed that the image on it was a Duck.
