Four schools firmly in the mix for former UCLA QB Dante Moore

The true freshman and five-star high school prospect will be one of the most pursued quarterbacks in the transfer portal, including interest from schools like Oregon and Michigan.

Former UCLA quarterback and five-star prospect Dante Moore is in the transfer portal, and according to a Monday report from 247Sports’ Allen Trieu, there are four schools on the shortlist for Moore’s next home.

Trieu said Oregon, Florida State, Michigan, and Miami should be considered the starting points for Moore’s recruitment.

Ducks starting quarterback Bo Nix and Seminoles starter Jordan Travis have no eligibility remaining, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy is likely bound for the NFL Draft, and Miami’s Tyler Van Dyke is in the transfer portal as well.

Moore appeared in nine games as a freshman for the Bruins this past season. He finished with 11 touchdowns, nine interceptions, and a QBR of 33.1. Seven of his interceptions came in three games. He led the UCLA offense to a 25-17 win over then-ranked Washington State, and he threw seven touchdowns in his first three games of the year, including a season-opening victory over Coastal Carolina.

As a high school prospect, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound quarterback was the third-highest quarterback in 247Sports’ 2023 rankings and the No. 5 overall quarterback.
