>>> Prediction: 5-star QB Dante Moore to choose Oregon Ducks
Moore is part of an historic 2023 recruiting class that features four quarterbacks in the nation's top eight prospects for the first time in the history of 247Sports rankings.
Oregon is considered the favorite, but Texas A&M leads a group of other finalists that also includes Florida, LSU, Michigan and Notre Dame.
Here's what 247Sports had to say about Moore as a prospect:
"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."
