Nebraska’s head football coach had high praise for his starting quarterback. Matt Rhule made the comments about sophomore starting quarterback Dylan Raiola while appearing on the Jim Rome Show last week. Rhule not only praised his quarterback’s leadership but also disclosed that multiple schools had contacted Raiola, despite his never entering the transfer portal.
“And everyone reached out to him. He could have taken the easy way out and left and gone into the portal and gone to someplace where he could start over where he doesn’t have to do as much himself. But he chose to stick it out and fight.”
The quarterback will also work out with some elite talent later this month. Raiola will be attending the Manning Passing Academy on the campus of Nicholls State University from June 26 to June 29. The Cornhuskers’ head coach also praised the off-the-field traits that Raiola has developed since the end of last season.
“Where I see him growing is in the phases of leadership and the phases of mental toughness, handling adversity. I think he’s going to have a great year.”
Nebraska will open the 2025 college football season on Thursday, August 28, when the Huskers face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The kickoff time has not been determined yet.
