Oregon has produced several first-round picks at quarterback in recent years. Marcus Mariota, Justin Herbert, and Bo Nix all hailed from Eugene before being top draft selections. The Ducks have found another gem under center in Dante Moore. Moore was a highly-touted prospect coming out of high school, but his path to college football stardom has been an up-and-down one. He has proved the hype was valid this season, leading Oregon to a 7-1 record. The Ducks rank sixth in scoring offense, averaging 41.2 points per game. Moore is the most prominent factor in their success offensively. His talent is undeniable, but can he be the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft?
