The long wait to find out what Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore is going to do in 2026 is now over, and after the announcement on social media, fans in Eugene are celebrating.
Moore will return to college for one more year, remaining with the Ducks for the 2026 season. Instead of declaring for the 2026 NFL draft as a likely top-10 overall pick, he is opting to develop for another year at the college level in Eugene, and then make the jump to the pros.
This is almost unanimously viewed as the right option for Moore, who undoubtedly could have made a lot of money in the NFL, but will now improve his chances at a long-lasting pro career with more development before making the leap.
With this news came some massive celebrations on social media from Oregon fans who were hoping to get one more year of Moore, now with a handful of returning starters for the 2026 season as well. Here's a look at what fans were saying on social media after the announcement:
