Oregon Ducks get commitment from QB Dante Moore, No. 8 college football recruit for 2023

Dante Moore, a five-star quarterback, has committed to play for the University of Oregon.

Moore is the highest ranked commitment for the new staff at the University of Oregon. The top pocket-passer in the country is a quarterback from Detroit.

Moore said that Lanning is going to be a great head coach because he knows what it takes to win a national championship. I know I can trust Kenny's direction in the future. The team they're building will be good for me in the future.

Moore continued to visit schools, including Texas A&M, LSU and Miami, to make sure he was making the best decision despite reports that Notre Dame was the top school.

"Visiting all the schools with different facilities, different coaching staffs and meeting great coaches is probably one of the best things to do through the whole process," Moore said I didn't show favoritism through the whole process, I was just enjoying it.

Moore, who made his final college visit to Oregon at the end of June, had already established a relationship with Dillingham, who was the offensive coordinators at Florida State prior to Lanning at Oregon. Moore wanted to build a better relationship with the rest of the staff and was able to do that on his visit.

The best facilities in the country are what Moore believes. Phil Knight has invested a lot of money into the university. The university is going to benefit from everything that is there. People who go to Oregon get the best throughout their entire process of being there because they have everything they need to improve themselves.

Oregon is a school many prospects are looking at for NIL deals and for networking potential beyond the college experience, and Moore understands the potential to build his brand with theDucks

Moore said that many coaches and reporters know that he is just a kid trying to play football and improve himself. I am aware that it is Nike and Phil Knight. There are opportunities to build my brand. I know it's going to be a lot of work, but we haven't talked much about it yet.

The timing of Moore's commitment coincides with the announcement that USC and UCLA would be leaving the Pac-12 to join the Big 10. The uncertainty didn't bother Moore.

The coach said they didn't know yet if they were joining the Big 10. If they join the Big 12 or something like that, I know we'll be in a big conference for us to be the best we can be.

Moore has the ability to compete immediately at Oregon. Bo Nix was added to the team for two years. Ty Thompson and Jay Butterfield are former quarterbacks.

Thompson and Butterfield don't have a lot of experience, as well as the other two players.

Multiple linemen can be on the field. There is only one person on the field. To get to the league or improve yourself, you need to trust your quarterback coach and offensive coordinators.

They have multiple quarterbacks on the list, but I want to come in and compete and possibly get a starting job. You have to be on top of your game. The quarterback depth chart was a large part of the process.

Moore was one of two quarterbacks in the class who hadn't made a commitment.
