On the heels of his commitment to the University of Oregon, five-star quarterback Dante Moore discussed the possibility of playing outside the Pac-12 in the wake of USC and UCLA’s defections to the Big Ten.
The bombshell announcement sent shockwaves around the college sports world on June 30, leading to speculation concerning what the Ducks and other programs might do in response. Moore, who was concluding an impressive run at Elite 11 camp, where he was named Sports Illustrated’s MVP, that same day, offered his take on the news and the rumors that Oregon could follow suit after announcing his decision on Friday.
“I talked to guys such as [USC QB commit] Malachi Nelson, talked to him about how everything works with him because I thought a lot of the Big Ten was Midwest schools. And a lot of the West Coast schools are going to join it,” Moore said, via 247Sports. “The Big Ten’s a great conference. If Oregon goes or Oregon stays, it’s gonna be good competition anywhere.”
