Dylan Raiola Cleared From Broken Leg, Embraces Oregon Backup Role Behind Dante Moore

Coaches praise his rapid grasp of the offense, signaling Oregon’s succession plan at quarterback.

Overview

  • Dylan Raiola said he is fully medically cleared from the fibula break that ended his Nebraska season and is taking full reps in Oregon’s spring practices.
  • He transferred after two years as Nebraska’s starter to back up returning QB1 Dante Moore and said his focus this year is humility, learning, and supporting Moore.
  • Quarterbacks coach Koa Ka’ai called Raiola “beyond cerebral” and said his football knowledge helped him pick up the Ducks’ fast offense at a quick pace.
  • Head coach Dan Lanning highlighted Raiola’s arm talent and intelligence, while Nebraska stats show both upside and growth areas with 69.1% completions, 31 touchdowns, and turnover issues that included 11 picks in 2024.
  • Team and media coverage frame Raiola as a likely successor once Moore departs for the NFL, with a redshirt in 2026 viewed as a possible step in Oregon’s proven sit-then-start quarterback pipeline.
