Overview
- Dayton Raiola, a three-star 2026 quarterback from Buford (Ga.), withdrew his commitment and told recruiting reporters, “My recruitment is 100% open.”
- Nebraska’s 2026 class is down to nine commitments after four decommitments and now lacks a quarterback for the cycle.
- The early signing period runs Dec. 3–5, compressing Nebraska’s timeline to add a high school passer or turn to the transfer portal.
- Starting quarterback Dylan Raiola remains out for the season with a broken fibula suffered Nov. 1, while true freshman TJ Lateef impressed in his first start with a 13-of-15, 205-yard, 3-touchdown outing at UCLA.
- Coach Matt Rhule publicly emphasized retention and roster strategy following the recent departures, and speculation about Dylan’s future has surfaced but no transfer decision has been confirmed.
