Dylan Raiola commits to Oregon after 2 seasons as Nebraska starter
Raiola, a two-year starter for the Cornhuskers, was one of the top available quarterbacks in the transfer portal. Oregon will likely need a starter for next season with Dante Moore expected to be leaving for the NFL.
It’s unclear if Raiola’s commitment guarantees Moore is entering the NFL draft. Moore, a projected first-round pick, has only been a full-time starter for one season of college and said after Oregon’s Peach Bowl loss to Indiana that he’s still undecided on his future.
Raiola’s uncle, Donovan Raiola, was fired by Nebraska coach Matt Rhule on Dec. 6 after five seasons as offensive line coach. Raiola’s younger brother, quarterback Dayton Raiola, de-committed from Nebraska on Nov. 19.
Raiola ultimately chose Nebraska out of high school despite committing to multiple other schools. He was once pledged to both Ohio State and Georgia before flipping to the Cornhuskers late in his recruitment.
The Buford, Georgia, native passed for 2,819 yards with 13 touchdowns to 11 interceptions as a true freshman, completing 67.1% of his passes. Raiola boasts a 69.1% completion rate through two seasons as a starter.
