Oregon Ducks predicted to replace Dante Moore with 4,129-yard transfer QB from portal | Sporting News
The Oregon Ducks know what they’re doing with quarterbacks.
The latest example was this season with Dante Moore, who looks set to be a top-tier NFL Draft pick after a brilliant fall in Eugene.
But assuming Moore does indeed leave, Oregon will need a new quarterback.
Pretty much any QB in the country would love to play for the Ducks. They’re a consistently exciting offense that produces pro passers.
That allows Oregon to be selective and get the guy that really fits the best.
The Athletic’s Manny Navarro made a prediction for this outcome this week, and he has named Drew Mestemaker as the guy he thinks will be the Ducks’ next quarterback.
“The Ducks are likely to lose Dante Moore to the NFL Draft,” Moore writes. “Mestemaker’s upside is hard to ignore, and Oregon could probably swipe him away from new Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris, who helped make him a star at North Texas.”

Mestemaker came pretty much out of nowhere this season to lead the American Conference in pretty much every passing category.
He completed 70.2% of his passes for 4,129 yards and 31 touchdowns. Mestemaker also ran for five scores.
Mestemaker may have a sour taste in his mouth from the conference title game, when he threw three interceptions. But that could just motivate him to take a big step and prove himself at the highest level possible.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon Department of Forestry is asking Oregonians to be careful when disposing of yard debris this spring.

“There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026,” the agency said.
The agency said that at this time last year, it had responded to 37 escaped burns.
“More than 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human-caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list,” ODF said. “With record-low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual.”
The Central Oregon District of ODF has already declared the start of fire season.
On May 14, fire restrictions will go into effect for all Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington.
“We are increasingly concerned that 2026 could rival the most extreme years on record for heat and dryness in the Pacific Northwest,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, assistant chief of operations for the Pacific Northwest, U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “Every visitor must understand that even one small spark can lead to a costly and destructive fire in these high-impact conditions.”
Officials say the restrictions will help reduce the risk of human-caused fires. BLM officials say anyone who violates the prohibition could be fined up to $100,000 and/or face up to 12 months in prison.
More information on fire season is available on the ODF website.
The Bureau of Land Management website has additional information on fire restrictions and closures.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon DMV issued a warning for drivers, saying scammers are still sending out fake text messages trying to steal money from people.
State DMV officials say it is part of a nationwide scam that’s been happening for nearly two years.
The fake text messages often come from international phone numbers or non-government email addresses.
In the messages, the scammers threaten to suspend car registration or driving privileges if a person doesn’t pay.
If you get this message, the DMV asks that you don’t click on any links or respond. Simply report it to the Federal Trade Commission or delete it.
