Dante Moore will return to Oregon for the 2026 season

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore announced he will not enter the NFL Draft in 2026, opting instead to return to college for another season. Moore played a key role in leading the Ducks to the college football semifinals, where they were defeated by Indiana. Indiana's quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, is projected as the top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, particularly given the Las Vegas Raiders' search for a long-term quarterback solution. Moore's decision to stay in college impacts potential draft selections, as it opens up opportunities for other quarterbacks such as Ty Simpson and Trinidad Chambliss to contend for the second quarterback position in the draft order.
