On April 7th, Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore just announced he's coming back for another season in 2026. As a redshirt junior, he's gearing up under fresh offensive coaches in a revamped quarterback room, skipping the NFL draft to build on his game right here in Eugene. Earlier this week, Moore opened up about clicking with transfer quarterback Dylan Raiola from Nebraska. They bond over music, early morning vibes, and pushing each other in the weight room and on the field.
Raiola's got that arm talent to make any throw, and Moore's mentoring him on those little pre-snap reads he picked up himself. The team's buzzing with positive energy, no drama in the QB room, just competition over wordle, golf, and drills. Moore's drawing lessons from stars like Bo Nix and Dylan Gabriel, getting sharper at handling pressure and changing plays at the line. Coach Dane Lanning's practice reps are prepping them for big moments, turning stress into confidence.
New offensive coordinator Drew Maringers, a player's coach, tweaking schemes based on what QB's like, while quarterback's coach Koakai breaks down. Defenses like a genius. Moore's tight with center Ayaphani Lelulu and wideout Evan Stewart, plus hyped for receiver Jeremiah McClellan's insane catches. Even chatted with Tom Brady for pro tips.
With talent stacked across the roster, Moore's stacking days, preaching mental health to handle the grind and using golf for that team. Oregon's offense looks primed to roll, one red at a time.
