The Oregon Ducks have won the Dylan Raiola Sweepstakes, as the former Nebraska quarterback has committed to play in Eugene in 2026.
Raiola chose the Ducks after a weekend visit and is primed to replace Dante Moore under center – as Moore is widely expected to declare for the NFL Draft. The Nebraska transfer announced his decision on social media.

Raiola’s impending addition also caused another Ducks quarterback to hit the transfer portal, as Luke Moga joined backup Austin Novosad in the portal.
Raiola, who originally committed to Georgia as a 5-star prospect before flipping to Nebraska in 2023, passed for 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns against six interceptions in 2025. Raiola missed the Cornhuskers’ final four games of the season after breaking his fibula against USC on Nov. 1. Raiola turned in a stellar freshman season in Lincoln, passing for 2,819 yards and 13 touchdowns with 11 interceptions.
Nebraska went 7-6 overall in 2025 and 4-5 in Big Ten play, including a 44-22 loss to Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl. Oregon finished 13-2, earning a No. 5 seed in the College Football Playoff – defeating James Madison and Texas Tech before losing to No. 1 seed Indiana in the semifinals.
