Unexpected Star Tops Oregon Ducks’ NIL Player Valuations — Where Does Dante Moore Rank?
When it comes to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, the Oregon Ducks are making waves with some creative and lucrative opportunities for their players. Recently released NIL valuations reveal surprising names leading the pack — and some expected stars sitting outside the top ranks.
Evan Stewart Leads the Pack
The top NIL valuation among Oregon Ducks football players goes to wide receiver Evan Stewart, with an impressive $1.7 million valuation. The senior standout boasts a massive social media presence with 280,000 Instagram followers, 2.1 million TikTok fans, and 29,000 on X (formerly Twitter).
Stewart was a key part of the Ducks’ offense in 2024, catching 48 passes for 613 yards and five touchdowns across 12 starts. Though he’s currently sidelined with a torn patellar injury and won’t start the 2025 season, Stewart’s NIL appeal remains strong.
Interestingly, Stewart is the only returning player from Oregon’s 2024 roster to crack the top five in valuations — the other four top spots are filled by incoming transfers.
Dante Moore: The Quarterback Outside the Top Five
Oregon’s highly touted quarterback Dante Moore — a former five-star recruit — surprisingly did not make the top five in NIL valuations, sitting at $640,000 according to On3’s NIL tracker.
Moore enters his redshirt sophomore season amid much anticipation to potentially start for the Ducks, following in the footsteps of back-to-back Heisman Trophy finalist quarterbacks. His NIL deals are notable, including a spot in Beats by Dre’s prestigious 2024 class, alongside former Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel, now with the Cleveland Browns.
Moore recently gifted Beats headphones to his teammates, showing how NIL opportunities can also build team unity. Despite his large social following and growing name recognition, his valuation remains modest compared to some of his peers — many of whom have values exceeding $2 million.
Looking Ahead
Earning the starting quarterback position in a high-profile program like Oregon’s is a surefire way to boost NIL earnings. Should Moore take the reins and lead the Ducks to success in the Big Ten this season, experts expect his NIL valuation to skyrocket, potentially surpassing many teammates by year’s end.
For now, the NIL race at Oregon offers a fascinating glimpse into which players have captured brand attention — and how a strong season could quickly change the landscape.
