Many quarterbacks across the country have already expressed their intentions to enter the transfer portal or announced they will be looking for a new school.
That includes Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola, who is set to visit Oregon, according to On3. Raiola’s recruitment has played out slowly and quietly so far, but could ramp up with the Ducks out of the College Football Playoff.
Oregon QB Dante Moore hasn’t made his NFL Draft decision yet. It’s plausible that Raiola could even redshirt a seasons behind Moore if he decides to go to Oregon and Moore returns to to school. Raiola has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
If Moore goes to the NFL Draft, Raiola would presumably be Oregon’s starting QB in 2026.

Like Raiola, Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt is yet to make a decision. He’s visiting Miami over the weekend.
We’ll be keeping track of all the notable names who are changing schools in the space below as college football prepares for its biggest transfer frenzy yet. The transfer portal will close on Jan. 16.
