2027 Four-Star RJ Moore Announces Top Six Schools

One of the fastest-rising prospects in the 2027 recruiting class has officially narrowed his college options.

Four-star wing RJ Moore announced that Alabama, Rutgers, Texas Tech, Utah, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest have made his final six as his recruitment begins to enter a pivotal stage. Moore has become one of the most sought-after players in the country after a breakout year on the grassroots circuit and continues to see his stock climb heading into his senior season.

The 6-foot-5 to 6-foot-7 scoring guard out of Ambassador Christian School (North Carolina) has established himself as one of the premier perimeter prospects in the class. His combination of size, skill, and offensive versatility has made him a priority target for high-major programs across the country.

A Three-Level Scorer With Size

Moore's biggest strength is his ability to score from anywhere on the floor.

He has the length to shoot over defenders, the handle to create separation off the dribble, and the athleticism to finish above the rim. Whether he's knocking down catch-and-shoot jumpers, pulling up in transition, or attacking downhill, Moore consistently shows the tools that translate to the college level.

His offensive game continues to expand. He has become increasingly comfortable creating for himself, using change of pace and strong footwork to get to his spots. At his size, he's capable of playing multiple perimeter positions, giving coaches lineup flexibility on both ends of the floor.

Moore has also shown encouraging defensive upside. His length allows him to disrupt passing lanes and guard multiple positions, while his athleticism gives him the ability to switch onto different matchups. As he continues to add strength, his two-way potential only becomes more intriguing.

Recruitment Continues to Gain Momentum

Moore's recruitment has accelerated over the past year as more national programs have entered the picture. His rise throughout the summer evaluation periods turned him from an intriguing prospect into one of the hottest names in the 2027 class.

Each program in his top six offers something unique.

Alabama continues to attract elite perimeter talent with its up-tempo, NBA-style offense that gives skilled wings freedom to score and create.

Rutgers has prioritized Moore for months and recently earned the opportunity to host his first official visit, showing just how important he is to Steve Pikiell's recruiting board.

Texas Tech has built a reputation for developing versatile two-way wings, making the Red Raiders an appealing option for a player with Moore's skill set.

Utah has remained consistently involved throughout his recruitment and has made him a priority since offering.

Vanderbilt presents the opportunity to compete in the SEC while pairing high-level basketball with elite academics.

Wake Forest, one of the earliest high-major programs to build a relationship with Moore, has remained firmly in the mix thanks to its consistent communication and familiarity with the North Carolina standout.

What's Next?

Moore has already scheduled an official visit to Rutgers, and more campus trips are expected as the recruiting process continues. With his recruitment now trimmed to six schools, each visit will carry significant weight as he evaluates coaching staffs, player development, and overall fit.

There's still plenty of time before a final decision is made, but one thing is clear: RJ Moore has positioned himself as one of the premier prospects in the 2027 class. Programs across the country see a long, athletic scoring wing with tremendous upside, and his final six reflects just how competitive this recruitment has become.
