Thursday marked the official release of EA Sports College Football 26 video game, which led to a flurry of content from streamers and social media users.
After signing arguably the nation’s best influx of talent via traditional recruiting and the transfer portal, Oregon Ducks fans were particularly intrigued about where their new talent would land.
The headliner of the group?
Oregon signee and Duncanville (Texas) five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore is the second highest-rated prospect in program history (No. 4 overall), but the folks at EA Sports are even higher on him.
Moore received an overall rating of 84, which made him the highest-rated true freshman in the game, eclipsing LSU running back Harlem Berry (83 overall), Georgia defensive lineman Elijah Griffin (82), Texas duo James Simon and Kaliq Lockett and Kansas State tight end Linkon Cure (81).
Moore is expected to be a major part of the Oregon offense this season, particularly after the likely season-ending injury of star receiver Evan Stewart.
The hype couldn’t be much higher for the dynamic playmaker.
Fellow Oregon signees also ranked well, including quarterback Akili Smith Jr. (75), runnings backs Dierre Hill (80) and Jordon Davison (77), Cooper Perry (76), cornerback Brandon Finney (78) and safety Trey McNutt (77).
Notable Oregon signees Na’eem Offord, Dorian Brew, Douglas Utu, Ziyare Addison, Nasir Wyatt, Gavin Nix and others were not in the game (yet?).
