Dante Moore wasn’t just a prospective recruit by Michigan when he first joined UCLA in 2023. In his debut season, he finished with 1,610 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The likelihood of him in Michigan comes from his history as a close player to the team that was coached under former Michigan QB Devin Gardner. He also played in CE Stars, which was started by ex-Michigan RB Chris Evans
