Dylan Raiola’s potential Oregon transfer may not depend on Dante Moore

With Brendan Sorsby already finding a new home, five-star QB Dylan Raiola might be the biggest name in the transfer portal.

The former Nebraska standout will leave the program after two years, and he's already started taking visits ahead of his next step.

According to CBS Sports insider Chris Hummer, Raiola visited Oregon, even though there's still no clarity about their immediate future at quarterback.

Dante Moore has yet to make an announcement about whether he's going to enter the NFL Draft or not. However, it doesn't seem like his plans would have any effect on Raiola's decision.

Dylan Raiola could red-shirt one year in Oregon 

"Sources view it as possible Dylan Raiola could (end) up at Oregon even if Dante Moore passes on the draft & returns to school," Hummer wrote on X. "In that scenario, Raiola would sit behind Moore for a year & be in line to be the Ducks’ starting QB in 2027."

Moore and Raiola each have two years of college eligibility remaining. So, even though he will most likely have opportunities to start somewhere else, he might choose to sit behind Moore or compete with him for the starting job, assuming Moore comes back.

In 22 appearances with the Cornhuskers, Raiola has thrown for 4,819 yards with 31 touchdowns and 17 picks while completing 69.1 percent of his passes, per Sports Reference. 

As for Moore, he's still projected to be a top-two selection if he declares for the draft, even after a disappointing performance at the Peach Bowl in the blowout loss to Indiana.
