Overview
- Moore announced live on ESPN's SportsCenter on Jan. 14 that he will forgo the 2026 NFL Draft and play another season at Oregon.
- The redshirt sophomore posted 3,565 passing yards, 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on 71.8% completions during a 13-2 season that ended with a CFP semifinal loss featuring early turnovers.
- With Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza widely viewed as the likely No. 1 pick to the Raiders, Moore’s return removes a top quarterback option and pushes mock drafts to pivot the Jets away from QB at No. 2.
- Draft voices including Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay and Urban Meyer had underscored Moore’s youth and limited starts, indicating another collegiate season could strengthen his long‑term projection.
- Oregon’s quarterback room solidifies with Moore and Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola, as the Ducks map 2026 with their starter back under Dan Lanning.
