Dante Moore to return to Oregon Ducks for 2026 season
Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore has opted to return to Eugene for the 2026 season rather than entering the 2026 NFL Draft. This decision follows a season where Moore led the Ducks to the College Football Playoff.
Scouting reports and evaluations have highlighted both his strengths and areas for improvement. While noted as a dynamic producer with strong vertical passing ability, an unnamed NFC staffer reportedly raised concerns regarding Moore’s ability to handle heavy pressure and disguised looks during his playoff run.
Moore’s statistical performance has been significant; in one season, he recorded over 3,500 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, ranking him as the third-leading passer in the Big Ten. His return to Oregon is viewed as a move to pursue a national championship and refine his game management and mobility ahead of future professional prospects.
