Dante Moore, a potential first overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft, was injured during Oregon's game against USC when USC's Desmond Stephens delivered a hit to his head after Moore began sliding. Moore exhibited the fencing response indicative of serious head trauma and was on the ground for several minutes before being placed on a stretcher and carted to an ambulance.
Stephens was ejected from the game for targeting, and a brawl nearly erupted between players from both teams. Moore, who chose to return to Oregon for another season instead of entering the NFL draft, was moving his hands and feet before being taken away, with immediate concern focused on his health and football future. newsbetting.bond
