Oregon fans have been anxiously awaiting for this moment. And it would appear it’s now finally arrived.

Five-star quarterback Dante Moore will announce his college decision this Friday. The commitment will air live on ESPN during the noon (EST) edition of SportsCenter. Keep in mind that does not mean the commitment airs right at noon. (The show runs from 12-1 EST)

The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is the nation’s No. 8 ranked player in the On3 Consensus Rankings. He’s the No. 4 quarterback nationally in those same rankings.

Moore has taken official visits to Oregon and LSU back in April. He took an unofficial visit to Oregon June 24 as well.

The Ducks are the overwhelming favorite per the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. Oregon has a 71% chance to land the 5-Star signal caller two days out from his announcement. I logged a prediction on June 23 and there are now a total of 4 in favor of the Ducks.

From his On3 profile, Dante Moore ‘reminds us of’ former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Dante Moore’s quick release, accuracy feel as a passer and build reminds us of Tua Tagovailoa. Moore is around an inch taller than Tagovailoa and a more efficient high school passer at the same stage. Tagovailoa was more of a run threat.

On3 Scouting Summary

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.
