After 2 seasons at Nebraska, former 5-star quarterback Dylan Raiola is set to enter the transfer portal this offseason.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that news on Monday afternoon, noting that Raiola completed about 72% of his passes during his sophomore season. Raiola’s year was cut short after he suffered a season-ending leg injury against USC back in Week 10.
Raiola was committed to Georgia as a high school senior until flipping to Nebraska just before signing day in the class of 2024. His uncle, Donovan Raiola, served as Nebraska’s offensive line coach until last week when he was fired by head coach Matt Rhule.
Raiola will be among the most highly-recruited transfer quarterbacks this offseason. Florida quarterback DJ Lagway, Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles and Cincinnati quarterback Brennan Sorsby also reportedly have plans to enter the portal when it opens on Jan. 2.
As for the Huskers, Nebraska will likely look to add a quarterback via the portal this offseason. TJ Lateef finished the season as Nebraska’s starting quarterback after Raiola went down, but the Huskers went just 1-3 against Big Ten opposition down the stretch.
