Overview
- Raiola said during spring practice that he has humbled himself and accepted a learning role behind starting quarterback Dante Moore.
- After a broken leg ended his 2025 season at Nebraska, Raiola said he was fully cleared for football activities two weeks ago and feels 100 percent.
- He said he chose Oregon before Moore decided on another college season, calling it a total buy-in to learn in the Ducks’ quarterback room.
- Moore passed on the NFL Draft to return as the presumed 2026 starter after a breakout year that followed his own season spent backing up Dillon Gabriel.
- Oregon’s staff, now with offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer, continues a pattern of developing waiting quarterbacks, with past examples such as Tyler Shough behind Justin Herbert.
