Overview

• Through four starts, Moore is completing about 75% of his passes with 11 touchdowns and one interception as Oregon has opened 4-0.
• Todd McShay said Moore could be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft if his performance continues at this level, noting the judgment comes from a small sample.
• No. 3 Penn State hosts the Ducks in a ‘White Out,’ with a defense that has allowed fewer than a touchdown per game and held opponents near 50% completions.
• Analysts praise Moore’s poise and arm talent but stress that comparisons to Marcus Mariota and Oregon’s recent greats remain premature.
• Moore’s rise follows a transfer from UCLA and a redshirt year behind Dillon Gabriel, with his growth linked to OC Will Stein as observers speculate that Stein’s future could influence Moore’s timetable.
