How Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year Anthony Colandrea Stacks Up Against Former Nebraska Five-Star Dylan Raiola
Dylan Raiola’s time as a Husker came to an abrupt and unfortunate end. With Nebraska sitting at 6–3, Raiola was driving for a potential go-ahead score against USC early in the third quarter when he suffered a season-ending broken fibula. The injury altered the Huskers’ trajectory: they lost that game and won just one more the rest of the season. Raiola later entered the transfer portal and committed to Oregon.
Matt Rhule and Nebraska’s staff then turned to the portal to find a new starting quarterback. While Colandrea was not their first choice — they pivoted to him after Notre Dame transfer Kenny Minchey flipped his commitment to Kentucky — the move still brings a proven winner to Lincoln. Colandrea earned Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2025, adding mobility that Raiola lacked and plenty of starting experience.
