Moore reacts to Raiola joining him at Oregon
in 2026 Oregon football team has the potential to be one of the top loaded teams in program history. The biggest news for the Ducks got Dante Moore to stay in Eugene for another season. And they have their quarterback position for the next two seasons because Dylan Raiola also announced his intention to transfer to Oregon, which will set him up for the 2027 season.
Dante Moore announced his intention to return to Oregon during Wednesday’s episode of “SportsCenter.” After he did, he was asked about Raiola and what coming to Eugene means to him. Moore said it was Raiola great to be around and excited to compete with him and wants to help him get better in any way he can, just like Dillon Gabriel did for him last season.
Moore said, “Yeah, he’s a great guy. Of course, we haven’t talked much, but we’re just seeing him and he’s competing now. I know he’s going to be a great quarterback guy next year. I want to make sure I give him my ideas, my thoughts, which Dillon Gabriel did for me. I’m just not giving him the resources to improve his game, I know he’s going to improve his game. push me. I know he’s going to compete and I’m going to be glad to see him.
Raiola comes to Oregon after playing for Big Ten opponent Nebraska the last two seasons. Raiola and Moore never played against each other last season, but now they will be in the same team, learning and pushing each other to get better.
Dante Moore initially committed to play at UCLA, and after spending some time with the Bruins, Moore left after Chip Kelly left and went to Oregon to develop behind Dillon Gabriel.
Dylan Raiola’s story seems similar to what happened with Moore. He started as a true freshman and was inconsistent. Then he had a solid sophomore year before he got hurt, and transferring to Oregon to study should help him a lot.
