Availability Dakorien Moore is currently listed Full Participant. The full picture, with who said what and when, is on the injury report.

Spring game update (Apr 25, 2026): Moore caught the spring-game-winning 60-yard TD pass from Brock Thomas with 0:20 left in Q4 to give the Combat Ducks a 17-10 win. The walk-off was the loudest moment of a defense-dominated afternoon. Full recap → Dakorien Moore arrived in Eugene as the #1 wide receiver in the 2025 recruiting class nationally and the highest-rated skill position recruit in Oregon history. At 5-11, 195 pounds, he has the speed to take the top off any defense and the route-running polish of a player two years older. He got meaningful reps as a true freshman in 2025, showing flashes of the talent that made him a five-star recruit. Now a sophomore, Moore opened 2026 with 6 catches for 93 yards and the touchdown that decided the game, sharing the room with veteran Evan Stewart, who is returning from a torn patellar tendon. New offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer inherits a receiver room that lost Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden to the NFL. Someone has to replace those targets. Moore has the talent to be that guy.

On playing young talent immediately

The Impact

Oregon has not had a true alpha wide receiver since the Chip Kelly era. The program has produced great quarterbacks, great running backs, and great defensive linemen, but the elite WR1 who demands double coverage and still wins has been missing. Moore has that ceiling. His 2025 recruiting profile described him as "the most complete receiver in the class" with elite speed, contested-catch ability, and the willingness to block downfield. If Moore becomes that player in 2026, it transforms what Drew Mehringer can do with the offense around Dante Moore.

The WR Room

Moore is not competing in a vacuum. Evan Stewart (6-0, 170) is the most experienced receiver on the roster but is returning from a torn patellar tendon suffered in June 2025 that cost him the entire season. Iverson Hooks transferred in from UAB to add depth. TJ McClellan got meaningful reps in 2025 and is a dark horse. Gatlin Bair is an early-enrollee freshman from Idaho. Five-star Jalen Lott arrives in summer. This is the deepest and most talented the WR room has been under Lanning, but it is also the youngest. Moore's ceiling is the highest. The question is whether the floor is high enough to be the guy Dante Moore trusts on third-and-8 in Columbus on November 7.

What to Watch This Season

The WR1 competition between Moore and Evan Stewart is the most important offensive battle outside the line. Stewart has experience and route-running savvy but is coming off a devastating knee injury. Moore has raw talent and a year in the system. Watch for how Mehringer designs his early-down packages. If Moore is running with the ones in the spring game, it tells you everything about where this is heading. Also watch his connection with Dante Moore. The QB-WR chemistry in this offense starts with those two.

Watch List for 2026

1

First-team reps: is Moore running with the ones or the twos? The depth chart starts here.

2

Contested catches: can he win 50/50 balls against Na'eem Offord and Dorian Brew in live reps?

3

Route tree variety: does Mehringer have him running the full route tree or limiting him to go routes and slants?

4

Connection with Dante Moore: watch the body language between the two. Trust shows up in the small moments.

5

Blocking effort: the coaches notice who blocks downfield. Five-stars who do not block do not start at Oregon.
