Detroit Martin Luther King five-star quarterback Dante Moore has flipped to UCLA from Oregon. He was previously committed to the Ducks since July 8.

Moore is now the top player in the Bruins’ 2023 recruiting class. He took an official visit to Westwood on the weekend of Dec. 10.

A 6-foot-2, 210-pound signal-caller, Moore is the No. 9 overall prospect and No. 4 quarterback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in Michigan.

On Dec. 9, sources told On3’s Chad Simmons that UCLA made “a strong late push” for Moore. According to Simmons’ reporting, Moore is impressed by the Bruins’ offensive success and the play of UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

At the moment, Moore is one of two quarterbacks committed to the Bruins. Orinda (Calif.) Miramonte three-star Luke Duncan chose UCLA on June 21.

Moore has an On3 NIL Valuation of $738K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Dante Moore On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Dante Moore:

“Pocket passer who is one of the more accurate and efficient quarterbacks in the 2023 cycle. Skilled as a touch passer with the ability to layer throws and deliver with accuracy and nuance. Has a quick, natural release that aids in the short passing and RPO game. Shows a good arm both on video and in camp settings. Capable of hitting on deep shots off of play action.

“Put together a highly efficient and productive junior season in leading Martin Luther King to a state title while completing 73 percent of his passes for over 3,000 yards and 40 touchdowns against three interceptions. Does not appear to be quite the athlete or run threat as some of the other top quarterbacks in the cycle at this time. Will need to continue improving his movement skills and foot quickness.”
