Oregon’s high-profile backup QB has a story to tell.

EUGENE — Dante Moore was already comfortable in Eugene before last Thursday morning. 

The former five-star quarterback moved to Oregon in January. He’s met some friends, enjoys the competition amongst his teammates in the quarterback room and his brother has since moved out to the city from Michigan. He already likes Dan Lanning — remember, he had previously committed to the Oregon coach before that one-year detour through Westwood — and says that he’s already learning by the handfuls from Oregon No. 1 Dillon Gabriel. 



Tyson Alger covered the Ducks for The Oregonian and The Athletic before branching out on his own to create and run The I-5 Corridor. He brings more than a decade of experience on the University of Oregon sports beat. He has covered everything from Marcus Mariota’s Heisman Trophy-winning season to the Ducks’ first year in the Big 10.
