His father, former NFL player Dominic Raiola, is considered a Cornhuskers legend, and his uncle, Donovan, is the team’s current offensive line coach, so the family is practically tied to Nebraska. While his father and uncle are tied to the Cornhuskers program, Dylan has decided to forge his own path. However, rumors that he might enter the transfer portal began after his younger brother, Dayton, decommitted from Nebraska.
Raiola’s camp began showing interest in Oregon, whose football program is valued at $990,000,000, according to The Athletic. Starting quarterback Dante Moore is now exploring his options to enter the 2026 NFL draft and is expected to declare for it once the College Football Playoff is over. The Ducks will face No. 1 Indiana in the Peach Bowl, and if they are eliminated, the team could lose its QB1 to the NFL.
Oregon has produced many quality NFL quarterbacks and has one of the best quarterback development programs in college football. This means that if Dylan Raiola wants to aim for the NFL, Oregon might be a good place to start.

It is not just Oregon that could land Dylan Raiola; another massive program that just landed a new high-profile head coach, LSU, is also in the mix. The Tigers are set to lose Garrett Nussmeier, who is now a senior, meaning the new Kiffin management will need a new quarterback, and Raiola could fit the bill.
Raiola is still a true sophomore, meaning the Tigers could get a lot of mileage out of him with two years of eligibility remaining. LSU may be interested in such a player, given Kiffin’s ability to develop quarterbacks, having turned Trinidad Chambliss from an unknown into the leader of a national title contender.
