$2 million QB could redshirt next college football season amid transfer portal entry
Our Summary
With the NCAA transfer portal closing on Friday, over 4,000 college football players have entered the portal during the 2026 offseason. Among them is former Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, who was one of the first to announce his intent to transfer. Raiola, a former five-star recruit, has two seasons of eligibility left and is exploring his options for a new team.
Raiola, who led Nebraska to its first bowl victory since 2015, suffered a fibula injury against USC, limiting his play to nine games last season. Despite his early entry into the portal on December 15, 2025, Raiola's potential landing spots have not been widely publicized.
One reported possibility for Raiola is a transfer to Oregon. Even if Oregon's current quarterback, Dante Moore, decides to return for another season instead of entering the NFL draft, Raiola could redshirt in 2026 and be positioned to start in 2027. This strategy mirrors Moore's own path
