Dante Moore commits to Oregon; Ducks land former 5-star quarterback

Arguably the most crushing recruiting flip in Oregon Ducks football history has been reversed.

Well, after a one-year "rental" by Chip Kelly's UCLA Bruins.

Following a weekend visit to Eugene, former five-star quarterback Dante Moore has committed to Dan Lanning's Ducks - almost exactly one year after he flipped from Oregon to UCLA as a high school senior:

As a freshman, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound signal-caller threw for 1,610 yards and 11 touchdowns with nine interceptions.

But even during the season, rumblings began that Moore wasn't happy and would be seeking a new home in the transfer portal.

As a five-star recruit coming out of Michigan in the class of 2023, Moore was committed to Oregon for months before a late flip to UCLA.

Thus, his entrance in the portal immediately led to speculation that either the Ducks or home-state Michigan Wolverines would quickly emerge as the favorites.

Despite Oregon's addition of Oklahoma senior Dillon Gabriel, Moore showed enough interest in a future in Eugene to take a visit over the weekend.

Turns out, Oregon showed him enough - and this time around it appears his commitment will stick.

Moore was the nation's No. 3 overall prospect last year after a stellar All-American Bowl performance in which he threw for 159 yards and four touchdowns,.

Here's what 247Sports had to say about Moore as a high school prospect:

"Varsity starter since his freshman season. Has played well against top competition and in clutch situations in big games. Mature, polished, does not appear to rattle easily. Stands in against the rush and will deliver throws while taking hits. Does a nice job of reading coverages and does well throwing into windows against zone coverages. Anticipates well and gets rid of the ball quickly. Throws with good touch down the field. Can fire it in there when he needs to. Has good arm strength but would not classify the pure velocity as elite. Very consistent with ball placement and mechanics as we have seen very few wayward passes from him through three years of game and camp eval. Can throw receivers open and gives his playmakers a chance to go get the ball. Solid athlete who has added more mobility to his game as the years have gone on, but is not likely to be a big threat as a designed runner, but can do a little bit of that if needed. Physical traits are good, but it is his intangible traits that are elite as well as his accuracy and understanding of the game. Works extremely hard and that total package projects him to be a multi-year college starter and someone who can be an early draft choice. Very ready to play as a true freshman."
