Where does Oregon’s Dante Moore sit among the 2026 NFL Draft class?<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2025 college football season has quickly turned into a showcase for Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, whose play has exceeded expectations that followed him to Eugene.<\/p>\n

Through five games, Moore has not only led the Ducks to a perfect 5-0 start but also placed himself in the Heisman conversation, thanks to being one of the nation\u2019s top passers. He’s currently completing 75 percent of his passes with a sparkling 14-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio.<\/p>\n

The defining performance of Moore\u2019s season came in Oregon\u2019s dramatic 30-24 double-overtime victory at Penn State last weekend. He handled the White Out environment like a seasoned veteran, going 29-of-39 for 248 yards and three touchdowns while adding 35 rushing yards.<\/p>\n

Moore silenced doubts about his mobility and showed he could deliver under the brightest lights. One defensive coordinator who faced Oregon this season gave their honest opinion on the Ducks’ quarterback to The Athletic<\/a>. He was described as \u201csmooth as hell, and no panic,\u201d praising his arm strength, ability to throw deep, and natural ability.<\/p>\n

That same mix of polish has caught the attention of NFL evaluators. An NFL scouting director who has studied Moore\u2019s development\u00a0said he’s \u201ca smooth athlete with good arm talent\u201d and noted that he \u201cruns well enough to extend plays.\u201d Just as important, the director was impressed by Moore\u2019s demeanor, saying that he came across as humble, team-oriented, and \u201can awesome kid.\u201d But the NFL evaluator acknowledged areas of growth, pointing out that Moore\u2019s field vision can be inconsistent and stressed the importance of further development.<\/p>\n

While Moore and his camp appear committed to staying at Oregon, the landscape could shift. With the 2026 quarterback class shaping up weaker than anticipated, NFL scouts may begin pressing the case for Moore to consider an early exit.<\/p>\n

For now, however, the Ducks are enjoying every bit of their breakout star, even as fans brace for the possibility that their quarterback\u2019s time in Eugene may not last as long as they hope.<\/p>\n
