What the football world says about UO-transfer Raiola
Nebraska QB reportedly signs with Ducks

EUGENE — Former Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola is reportedly joining the Ducks. And Oregon fans have a lot to say about it, for and against!
The college and pro football world beyond Duck Nation has been analyzing Raiola a lot longer. And what they’ve been saying in recent years isn’t always pretty.
Two sets of facts I’ll ask Oregon fans to remember, right off the top:
Dante Moore makes his own choice: A transfer who lost 9 games in two seasons at Nebraska without a whiff of the CFP won’t be the reason Moore stays at Oregon or goes pro. If Moore opts for the NFL, it’ll be about Moore’s standing in the draft class, not about the transfer kid with the broken leg from the 10th-place team in the conference.
Raiola has potential, but he’s not Mahomes: Raiola’s upside includes 4,819 pass yards, 31 TDs, and 17 INTs. He won 13 games in 22 starts before a broken fibula in 2025. On the downside, he hasn’t been a game-changer, and he doesn’t make plays with his legs. In two seasons at Nebraska, -152 rush yards, 54 sacks, and ZERO rush TDs.
From NFL scouts to Nebraska fans and even a licensed sports psychologist, here’s what the outside world is saying about Oregon’s latest transfer QB:
