Overview
- Moore announced his decision live on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Jan. 14, the underclassmen declaration deadline for non-title-game participants.
- His return removes a projected top-five quarterback from this year’s draft, forcing QB-needy teams such as the Jets at No. 2 to recalibrate plans.
- In 2025, Moore completed 71.8% of his passes for 3,565 yards with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, adding 156 rushing yards and two scores.
- Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola committed to Oregon this week and could now sit or redshirt in 2026 with Moore entrenched as the starter.
- Analysts had urged patience given Moore’s age and limited starts, and his choice boosts Oregon’s 2026 outlook while positioning him as a leading 2027 draft prospect.
