Summary
Nearly 20 added pounds headlined Dante Moore’s offseason as Oregon’s quarterback spent the summer sharpening the playbook, deep ball and quick game before preseason camp.
A roughly 16 golf handicap became his main outlet, with near-daily rounds around Eugene and a birthday trip to Bandon Dunes helping him decompress while building chemistry with fellow quarterbacks.
Tokyo delivered the summer’s biggest off-field moment: Moore joined Oregon teammates for Nike events, youth football camps and a showcase to grow the sport, while his image appeared on billboards in the city.
EA Sports College Football 27 then made Moore a cover athlete, adding Chicago promotional events to a summer that also included a Zach Bryan onstage appearance and World Cup matches in Seattle.
Those experiences came by design, with Moore saying he wanted to enjoy life outside football before the next four to six months center almost entirely on Oregon’s championship push.
