Oregon's Dante Moore Receives Key Update in EA Sports College Football

EA Sports College Football 27 was released earlier this month on July 9. The Oregon Ducks are the highest rated team in the game with a 91 overall rating. Their top rated player is Dante Moore with an overall of 95.

However, Moore’s player avatar raised some eyebrows as it did not look like him, to say the least. Luckily, that was fixed and Moore's face scan now looks more like himself in the game.

EA Sports must have heard the backlash from people about how off Moore’s appearance was. It was clearly a work in progress. Take a look at his original avatar in the game compared to what it is now.

Moore is one of three players on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27, alongside Ole Miss Rebels running back Kewan Lacy and Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Malachi Toney. Moore is the first Duck to be on the cover of an EA Sports College Football video game since former Oregon quarterback Joey Harrington was on the cover of EA Sports NCAA Football 2003.

After sitting behind starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel in 2024, Moore had a breakout season with the Ducks in 2025. This led him to becoming one of the game’s cover athletes. Moore threw for 3,565 yards with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He helped lead Oregon to a 13-2 record and an appearance in the College Football Playoff semifinal. He was named Third-team All-Big Ten.

Following the season, it was an unknown if Moore would stay with Oregon for another season or opt to take the next step in his football career and declare for the 2026 NFL Draft. Moore was projected to be one of the first picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. He decided that he would be returning to Eugene for another crack at a national title in 2026.
