Notre Dame’s all-in effort on Dante Moore came up short when Moore selected Oregon on Friday. As the Irish reset their 2023 quarterback board with just over five months until Signing Day, they made their first significant move following Moore’s commitment to the Ducks by offering 4-star quarterback Austin Novosad, a current Baylor commitment.
The Irish were fading for Moore for a while and accepted a commitment from 2024 5-star quarterback CJ Carr that felt like sealed Notre Dame’s fate with Moore at the time. Notre Dame kept recruiting Moore, but Oregon’s momentum was not being stopped at that point.
