Dante Moore, one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2023 recruiting class has officially announced his commitment date via Twitter. The five-star passer is set to make his decision on Friday, July 8 at 11:00 a.m. CT and will be broadcasted during Sportcenter on ESPN.
Dante Moore is going into his senior season at Martin Luther King Junior High School in Detroit, Michigan. Moore is coming off of a 2021 junior season that included a 13-1 record, and capturing the Michigan Division III State Championship. Statistically, Moore put up an incredible 3,047 passing yards, 40 touchdowns, and only 3 interceptions in his best season to date.

In a scouting report from 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst, Allen Trieu, he described Moore’s ability at the quarterback position:
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. Throws with good touch down the field. Can fire it in there when he needs to. Has good arm strength but maybe not a big big cannon. 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 solid to good, but it is his intangible traits that are elite. 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.
Moore did not release a final list of teams during his commitment announcement, but according to one of the leading college recruiting sites, On3, the Oregon Ducks are the current favorite to land Moore at 70%, followed by Texas A&M at 10.7%, LSU at 7.0%, and Michigan at 5.4 %. Yes, at a glance, this does not put the Aggies in great standing to acquire Dante Moore but counting them out simply due to a prediction is somewhat premature, and after last year’s recruiting success that surprised nearly every analyst on the planet, and after his unofficial visit to College Station on June 17th, never count the Aggies out.
