In addition to working diligently to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season, the Michigan Wolverines are also working in the transfer portal in preparation for their College Football Playoff matchup against Alabama on New Year’s Day at the Rose Bowl.
Former UCLA quarterback Dante Moore, a five-star high school prospect out of Detroit, is one of the players rumored to be considering a transfer to Michigan. Although he has options to play for his hometown team, the Wolverines offer him the chance to play alongside elite teams like Oregon, Florida State, and others.
The chance is so great that Michigan is the best place for Moore to land, according to ESPN’s Tom Luginbill on Tuesday. What he said was as follows:
Saying he has the same arm talent as the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner is some high praise at the conclusion of that analysis. Fans of Michigan should be drooling over the prospect of Moore moving to Ann Arbor just on that alone.
However, to address Luginbill’s point, that is essentially what scouts and assessors observed in Moore when he was a prep player fresh out of Detroit’s MLK High School. Allen Trieu of 247Sports compared Moore to Dak Prescott, noting that he is “mature, polished, does not appear to rattle easily,” and that he “works extremely hard, and that total package projects him to be a multi-year college starter and someone who can be an early draft choice.” Moore was ranked as the No. 5 overall player and the No. 3 quarterback in the class.
