At one point there were rumors circulating that five-star quarterback [autotag]Dante Moore[/autotag] had given a soft commitment to Notre Dame, but an official verbal never came from the Detroit product. On Friday, Notre Dame’s dreams of landing Moore came to an official end as the star committed to Oregon.
Shortly after he visited Notre Dame in March, Moore paid a visit to Eugene, Oregon on a trip that was said to have gone very well. Moore now becomes the highest ranked quarterback recruit in the history of the Oregon football program.

Although this news becoming official stings, Notre Dame knew they were out on Moore for a while now as things really faded after five-star quarterback [autotag]C.J. Carr[/autotag]’s commitment last month.
The question does remain however as what Notre Dame will do in recruiting the quarterback in the 2023 recruiting class. Do they simply take a pass this year after all of the quarterbacks they’ve offered have now given commitments elsewhere? Do they explore the transfer portal harder a year from now?
The news isn’t shocking to anyone today but it’s not fun regardless when you think you’re the leader for a five-star quarterback but end up empty handed.
In better news at least he also didn’t pick that program in his back yard, Michigan.
