UCLA dynamic freshman quarterback Dante Moore has long impressed coaches with his strong work ethic, toughness and drive to win championships.
Five-star quarterback Dante Moore flipped his commitment from Oregon to UCLA on Monday, giving the Bruins their highest-rated quarterback recruit.Doubters persisted. At his eighth-grade graduation, Moore was supposed to say what he wanted to be when he grew up. He told his teacher he wanted to say “football player.” She told him to say something else.Soon enough, the kid would show he could be whatever he wanted.
It was a lot of pressure. King was coming off a state title and had produced such football luminaries as Sauce Gardner and Avonte Maddox, who would go on to play in the NFL. But the freshman found that all his training had prepared him for the moment. “You never really know what you have with a quarterback until they take a shot,” Spencer said, “and when he took the shot and all the rubber was in his face from the turf, it was like, ‘OK, this kid is for real.’”
