Although Dylan Raiola hasn’t hit the transfer portal yet, with the constant dramas and chaos of player flips, Matt Rhule is not going to take any chance of losing his QB1. The Huskers capped their season with a disappointing 10-13 loss against Iowa, a game that highlighted the role Raiola played for the Huskers. Without him, Nebraska’s season could’ve ended quite early. Knowing this, Rhule is doing whatever he can to keep this dude locked in for their 2025 season.

top wide receiver, who recently entered the portal.

NFL veteran and Nebraska Hall of Famer Adam Carriker weighed in, saying Raiola’s efforts off the field are as vital as his on-field contributions. “He’s doing everything he can to help Nebraska football,” Carriker noted, adding that the Huskers’ QB is actively working to strengthen the roster. Raiola’s maturity and poise have become infectious, inspiring teammates to up their game.

Amid all that, Chip Patterson, Danny Kanell, Tom Fornelli, and Bud Elliott at the Cover 3 Podcast, in their December 9 episode, touched upon some concerning rumors surrounding Huskers’ QB1. What are the rumors? Well, Dylan Raiola could move to the Miami Hurricanes. One guest even joked that Raiola could be going to Texas Tech as he was spotted watching his idol Patrick Mahomes when the Chiefs played the LA Chargers on December 8.

One analyst at the podcast said, “If I’m a top quarterback, just financially wise, I’d enter the portal every damn time. But I do think I agree, and you’re stupid if you’re not to. Why wouldn’t you be a free agent every year? And every year, see what your value is. My biggest thing is the calendar of when it is. I mean the fact we had signing day last week, and now we have the portal; before teams are even playing, not only bowls but playoff games, they potentially could be in soon.”

As per some reports, there are worries within the Nebraska program that Raiola could depart. What could be the possible reason for a transfer? If reports are to be believed, Raiola may leave to have a chance to play for a national contender. Naturally, Nebraska fans didn’t take kindly to the hosts bringing out these rumors.

Nebraska fans are fired up about the analysts calling out Dylan Raiola.

The major frustration among the Huskers’ faithful with the podcast was their lack of knowledge about Raiola. One fan pointed out Dylan Raiola’s visit to the Chiefs game this week. “Raiola was at the Chiefs game with two guys that just signed to Nebraska last week. Nebraska’s NIL collective can match the money.” You know it, right? This one fan is talking about Nebraska’s NIL money, which is around $10 million, and he clearly suggested that Raiola is getting enough bucks here.

One more fan wrote, “You guys don’t know anything about Nebraska football if you think Raiola is leaving. The fact that Raiola has been recruiting offensive players to Nebraska the past month shows how out of touch you are with what’s going on.”‘

So Matt Rhule asked Dana Holgorsen to take the offensive lead after a few offensive blunders this season, and soon after that, the Huskers won their much-hyped-up game against Wisconsin. Even Raiola and Holgorsen share a strong bond. Meanwhile, one more angry fan penned, “That is the stupidest sh-t I’ve heard. Raiola isn’t going anywhere. C’mon bud, you are losing your credibility.”

Remember Husker Online senior writer Robin Washut’s words? He clearly stated that schools are trying to lure Raiola’s commitment. Although it’s like violating the NCAA rules, these teams were anyway doing it. Meanwhile, after spending time with the new offensive coordinator, it’s hard to even imagine that Dylan Raiola would leave this place.
