Moore told me this week that OC Kenny Dillingham, the opportunity to compete for a starting job and the program Dan Lanning is building all factored in.

Moore was named Sports Illustrated’s Elite 11 MVP at last week’s camp. John Garcia Jr. called his performance “sharp and accurate,” and “competitive” in the different workouts.

Oregon finished second in the Pac-12 last season with a 10–4 record. Anthony Brown led as starting quarterback, finishing with 2,989 passing yards and 18 touchdowns. 

Next season, the Ducks will have Auburn transfer Bo Nix on the team, along with sophomore Ty Thompson.

Aside from Oregon, Moore was interested in Notre Dame, Oregon, LSU and Texas A&M as potential landing spots.
