Dante Moore to return to Oregon

Interesting. I bet the NIL money is insane

 

This shouldn't shock anyone in all honestly. I have said this since the beginning of the 2025 College Football Season for not just Moore but also Leavitt and Sellers. Going to the NFL anymore isn't a sure fire guarantee for many of these College QBs.


The whole aspect of him potentially being Drew Allar doesn't really line up either. Dante still needs to grow as a passer whereas Drew Allar had years to prove himself. It also helps that Dan Lanning is a superior coach to James Franklin.


Overall, I am happy personally for Dante. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. As for how this affects Pittsburgh?! Kiss Ty Simpson goodbye. This could likely put other positions well into the spotlight as a result. Which position remains to be the one remains to be seen but Wide Receiver seems to be the odds on favorite though I would still give Roman Wilson one more year with a different voice along with a different QB.


Personally?! IOL, CB, Peter Woods or Sonny Styles are my preferred choices. If it is WR I want, Carnell Tate or Makai Lemon would do.

 

With these college quarterbacks making money now, I'm hoping many will stay in college longer for better college games and to be more prepared for the pros. I haven't seen Woods play but I want defensive tackle or receiver in round 1. I would even consider a trade down to later in the first and pick up another 2nd. If that is possible. That would be a 1, two 2's and three 3's. That's a nice haul. We need it.
