Yet another quarterback is moving on from his current college football team.

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Nebraska’s Dylan Raiola intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal. The 20-year-old signal-caller has spent the last two seasons with the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, amassing a 13–9 record as a starter while throwing for 4,819 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions.

In 2025 specifically, Raiola completed 72.4% of his passes—good for third in the Big Ten behind only Oregon’s Dante Moore and Heisman finalist Julian Sayin. Unfortunately, he suffered a broken leg against USC in early November and missed the latter portion of Nebraska's season.
