The reported news that Oregon Ducks fans were nervous about earlier in the week came true over the weekend, with 5-star quarterback Dante Moore taking an official visit to Los Angeles to see Chip Kelly and the UCLA Bruins.
Moore, who committed to the Ducks in July and has repeatedly said that he is locked in with Oregon, is expected to put pen to paper during the early signing period later this month. Moore is rated as the No. 2 overall player in the 2023 class.
Regardless of how solid he seems to be on his commitment to Oregon, Duck fans have still been pretty hesitant of a flip after the departure of offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham, who was the main recruiter for Moore. This late visit to UCLA raises some eyebrows, but the Ducks are still expected to be in a good place to land Moore in a couple of weeks.
Dan Lanning paid a visit to Moore last week in Detroit, and Will Stein, Oregon’s new offensive coordinator, was able to sit down with the 5-star QB earlier this week to develop a relationship.
While all of that should inspire confidence in Oregon fans, the site of your prized recruit — the highest-rated QB to ever commit to the Ducks — in a UCLA uniform just a couple of weeks ahead of signing day is not easy to see.
Here are the pictures that Moore posted after his visit to UCLA.
