Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore highlighted as team pursues CFP title

CBS Sports re‑examined the 2023 five‑star recruiting class and rated Oregon quarterback Dante Moore as meeting expectations, while former Duck wide receiver Jurrion Dickey was labeled a bust after limited playing time and a dismissal from the program. Dickey now plays at Diablo Valley College and remains unsigned for the 2026 season.

College football analysts project the Ducks to rank fourth nationally in the College Football Playoff odds, assigning them an 11.1% chance to win the title. The 2026 season opens on September 5 against Boise State at Autzen Stadium, with expectations focused on Moore’s passing ability and an improved defense to build on last year’s semifinal appearance.
