Overview
- In January Moore announced he would forgo the 2026 NFL Draft and return to Oregon for one more season to pursue a national championship.
- Coach Dan Lanning has made clear that the Ducks’ ceiling depends on Moore’s play, saying the team ‘goes as our quarterback goes.’
- Moore has added about 17 pounds and spent the offseason sharpening pre- and post-snap reads after committing a pick-six and two fumbles in the 2025 CFP semifinal.
- Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola will serve as a developmental backup this year while being groomed as Oregon’s likely successor for 2027.
- Oregon arrives in 2026 with elite roster metrics and high returning production, a matchup with Michigan on Nov. 14 highlighted, and the season’s results could materially change Moore’s projected 2027 draft position.
