summary
summary
Dante Moore is a highly talented young quarterback with five-star pedigree, advanced mechanical polish, and natural passing instincts. Standing 6'3" and 210 lbs, he projects as a smooth, rhythmic pocket passer with high-level accuracy and touch at all three levels. After a challenging true-freshman season at UCLA, Moore transferred to Oregon and spent 2024 developing behind Dillon Gabriel, showing noticeable growth in footwork, timing, and decision-making. His clean mechanics, effortless release, and ability to layer throws make him one of the most naturally gifted passers in the 2026 or 2027 NFL Draft window. Continued development processing post-snap rotations, improving pocket toughness, and avoiding turnover-worthy plays will determine his eventual draft ceiling. The tools are undeniable, and 2025 represents a breakout opportunity in Eugene’s QB-friendly system.
