The NCAA transfer portal has not officially opened yet, but big names are already being reported to be exploring potential new homes. The latest name to be linked to entering the transfer portal belongs to one of the Iowa Hawkeyes’ biggest rivals, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
It has been reported by Pete Nakos of On3 that Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback Dylan Raiola is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal and explore new opportunities. The move comes are Raiola has spent the last two years at Nebraska. This season ended early for Raiola as he suffered a leg injury midseason that sidelined him for the remainder of the year.
