After Nebraska’s 31-24 upset loss to Illinois, fans speculate if star quarterback Dylan Raiola will transfer, with predictions tying him to Georgia or other top programs.
BollywoodFever: The Nebraska Cornhuskers entered Friday’s matchup against Illinois with an undefeated 3-0 record, powered by the impressive play of star freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola.Â
However, Nebraska’s momentum came to a halt as Illinois pulled off a 31-24 upset in Lincoln, with Raiola throwing three touchdowns but also a costly interception.
Following the loss, social media was flooded with speculation about Raiola’s future, with many fans predicting that he might enter the transfer portal.
Some even suggested that Raiola could return to Georgia, the school he was initially committed to before choosing Nebraska.
“Prediction: Dylan Raiola transfers to Georgia at some point in his college career,” wrote UGA Football Live on X (formerly Twitter).
Others on X wondered if Raiola might transfer to powerhouse programs like Texas or Alabama after his freshman season, while another fan confidently stated that Raiola will “transfer to Georgia and win the Natty.”
While speculation is rampant, Raiola’s ties to Nebraska are strong. He flipped his commitment to the Cornhuskers largely due to his family’s history with the program—his father, Dominic Raiola, was a standout player for Nebraska.
Despite the setback, Raiola has enjoyed an impressive freshman campaign thus far. As Nebraska looks ahead to games against Purdue and Rutgers, the team still has plenty of opportunities to bounce back and continue building under Raiola’s leadership. For now, talk of his transfer remains just that—speculation.
