Dante Moore has turned the Oregon Ducks into one of the most well-rounded offenses in the country, and he’s doing it while climbing toward the top of NFL draft boards. Scouts widely view Moore as the No. 2 quarterback prospect in college football, and his performance this season has only strengthened that evaluation.
Moore is electric both inside and outside the pocket. His ability to extend plays without losing sight of his receivers is one of his defining traits. Even on the move, Moore keeps his eyes downfield and delivers with impressive accuracy. His arm strength stands out as well. He can drive the ball into tight windows, push the ball vertically, and change tempos with ease.
Statistically, Moore has been outstanding: over 2,000 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, only five interceptions, and a completion rate approaching 73 percent. Those numbers show exactly how efficient, smart, and consistent he’s been. He rarely forces throws, rarely panics under pressure, and rarely misses opportunities when the Ducks need a spark.
What elevates Moore’s game further is his pocket presence. He senses pressure naturally, slides into open lanes, and maintains a calm foundation even when the play breaks down. For NFL scouts, that is a major indicator of long-term success.
With Oregon positioned for a postseason push, Moore’s continued growth could push the Ducks deeper into contention, and push his name even higher in draft discussions. He’s playing some of the best football of his career, and the ceiling still looks higher.
