Texas Longhorns wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. will visit Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels on Friday for a multi-day stay, according to CBS Sports.

Moore Jr. checks in as the No. 5 rated wideout in the NCAA Transfer Portal and a Top-20 overall player in the market with Ole Miss eyeing the SEC standout's services.

The 6-foot, 192-pounder out of California signed with the Texas program in the 2023 Recruiting Cycle as a Top-125 prospect over offers from the likes of the Oklahoma Sooners, Georgia Bulldogs, and Alabama Crimson Tide, among several others.

Now, in search of a fresh start, Moore Jr. departs Texas after three seasons where he compiled 77 receptions for 988 yards and 11 touchdowns in 27 games played for the Longhorns.

The talented pass-catcher became a key weapon for Arch Manning across the 2025 season, but now eyes a new school as he begins his Transfer Portal process.

Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels are on the docket as a school that will get a visit with the program hosting Moore Jr. on Friday, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz.
