Oregon’s Dante Moore Keeps 2026 NFL Call Open as Top-Five Outlook Is Weighed

Moore says he remains undecided, awaiting league feedback before January declaration deadlines.

Overview

  • At a Dec. 15 media session, Moore said there is “no decision yet” on entering the draft or returning to Oregon.
  • Sources around Moore told EssentiallySports he is likely to declare if pre-deadline intelligence points to a top-five selection.
  • The deadline for underclassmen is Jan. 14, extended to Jan. 23 for CFP title-game participants, and final non-playoff draft order settles after Week 18 on Jan. 4.
  • Analysts have flagged the Raiders as a potential fit given their top-five range and Geno Smith’s poor 2025 performance.
  • Oregon has reportedly put forward a large NIL offer to retain Moore, with his choice expected to shape the Ducks’ QB room and transfer-portal approach.
