Some things are bigger than football, and Oregon quarterback Dante Moore continues to be a key example of what it means to use public influence and monetization to inspire the next generation.
The Heisman Trophy hopeful play caller announced Monday that he will be hosting upcoming youth football camps in both Eugene and Portland. The camps blend player development with community engagement and reflect the growing influence of name, image and likeness in college athletics.
The “Dante Moore Youth Football Camp” is set to take place on June 20, 2026, at Marist Catholic High School in Eugene, followed by a second camp on June 21 in Portland at Ida B. Wells High School. The camps are open to athletes ages 6–16 and are designed to give young players direct exposure to coaching, mentorship and interaction with one of Oregon football’s most prominent leaders.
