Fall camp is underway, and the Oregon Ducks are working through the final kinks ahead of what should be an exciting season for the program. After back-to-back trips to the College Football Playoff, Oregon enters the season as a favorite to win the National Championship. While stars like Dante Moore, A'Mauri Washington, and Matayo Uiagalelei return, Oregon will need some of the other players to step up if they're going to win the National Championship.
If you look at all of the players who made an impact last season, Dakorien Moore instantly stands out as a player ready to become a star. After signing with the Ducks as the Nation's top wide receiver, Dakorien Moore gained valuable experience as a key piece of the offense, but injuries kept him from finding a perfect rhythm.
Dakorien Moore declares he's ready to be one of the best
After a solid freshman season, Dakorien Moore is going to need to take the next step in order for this offense to reach its full potential. While the offense may only need a small progression by Moore to be elite, Dakorien Moore is ready to contribute far more, as he declared that he's been training to be one of the best wide receivers in college football.

As a True Freshman, Dakorien Moore was a key contributor for the offense with 34 catches for 497 yards and 3 touchdowns, adding 49 yards and a touchdown rushing. Considering the skill set that Dakorien Moore possesses, and the role that he's going to have in the offense, it's easy to see how he could be a 1,000+ yard receiver.
The top priority for new offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer is going to be finding a way to get Dakorien Moore more involved in the offense. At times, it felt like Will Stein forgot about how impact Dakorien Moore could be, and Mehringer getting him the ball more often may only make life easier on the rest of the offense.
Moore has elite top-end speed, which can make him one of the best deep threats in the country, especially as Malik Benson's departure leaves that role open. Where the Ducks could get the most out of Dakorien Moore is finding a way to get him more touches on screen passes and designed plays where his open-field ability can have the biggest impact.
Oregon has a loaded wide receiver room with plenty of special talents, but when you look at Dakorien Moore it's clear he's a higher level of talent. The offense should be able to take a massive leap as Moore grows, and if he can become a superstar level producer, this group will be almost impossible to stop.
