What Washington’s latest QB loss means for 5-star Dante Moore and the Ducks

Ohio State recently flipped Washington’s 4-star QB commit. Believe it or not, that move tells us something about Oregon’s 5-star QB Dante Moore.

As the day was winding down on Tuesday, it started to become clear that the Washington Huskies were in trouble.

Predictions started flooding in for 2023 4-star QB commit Lincoln Keinholz to flip from the Huskies to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Keinholz is rated by 247Sports as the No. 13 QB in the class and No. 172 overall player in the nation.

While this is a big loss for the Huskies, who no longer have a QB commit that is in line to take over for Michael Penix Jr. after the 2023 season, it also has some ramifications across the Pac-12 and national recruiting world. In particular, it might tell us a lot about Oregon Ducks’ 5-star QB commit Dante Moore.

Let’s get into some of the ripple effects of the Ohio State QB flip and see what we can learn from it.

Ohio State flips 4-star QB Lincoln Kienholz from Washington

Four-star 2023 quarterback Lincoln Kienholz flips his college commitment from Washington to Ohio State.

Ohio State lost its quarterback for the 2023 recruiting cycle a few weeks ago when Brock Glenn decommitted and flipped to Florida State. Today, they found their replacement by flipping a QB of their own.

T.F. Riggs (S.D.) four-star QB Lincoln Kienholz announced on Twitter this morning that he’s changed his commitment from Washington to Ohio State.

Keinholz (6-foot-3, 185 pounds) is ranked No. 13 among quarterbacks in his class. One of the nation’s top dual-threat QBs, Keinholz racked up 3,422 passing yards and 46 touchdowns as a Senior. He added another 1,436 yards and 24 touchdowns on the ground. Here’s the highlight reel.

Keinholz may feel he has a better chance to break through at Ohio State, where current starter C.J. Stroud is expected to declare for the draft after the college football playoffs. Meanwhile, Huskies QB Michael Penix Jr. recently announced he’s staying for another year at Washington.

The Buckeyes now have 20 commitments in their 2023 class, which ranks fifth in the country. The Huskies’ recruiting class has dropped to No. 29.
