Oregon has until the end of the year to determine if they are all in on Raiola in 2027. Maybe not and they go get somebody else. Maybe he looks great and there’s a QB controversy for 2026.
He is a Spring game and practice god. Not so good in real games against high level defenses. He will get the start because he will make all of the throws in practices and has a good arm.
Whether or not he stays the starter in 2027 will be up to his play in the 1st few games and league games.
Recruited over? Not likely. Dylan was a very high rated recruit. It would take a top 2 or 3 qb in his class. Many guys have lost starting jobs without being "recruited over".
I didn't expect it to be anything outstanding. Just better than what it was.
Like my previous post, inexcusable. Which is probably part of the reason why Donnie got fired. Didn't have any backups ready to play well.
Oregon for the foreseeable future will be able to grab just about any qb out of the portal they want. If there is someone who straight balls out and get to Eugene - I think they would still take him. DR is a safety net for them - not playing this year will be a big deal IMO.
Stoudemire still hurt, won’t be here for spring ball at all
expected to join the team in the summer (?) ahead of camp
He missed camp last year and only played 3 games. I don’t know what to expect from him as far as availability is concerned.
our only run stuffer addition from the portal
Owen Stoudmire, a 6'1", 300-lb defensive tackle transfer from Boston College, is fully participating in Nebraska's 2026 spring practices.
No need to hope. Less than a week ago this comes from the press conference.
LINCOLN — Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule confirmed on Saturday, following the conclusion of his team’s first week of spring camp that transfer defensive players Dexter Foster and Owen Stoudmire are both “full go” in practices after suffering season-ending injuries in 2025.
The press clipping I posted is from last Friday
Also - what preacher Rhule says in pressers and what actually happens are very often two very different things
So what incentive would he have to be dishonest about Stoudmire being full go in practice, let alone not joining the team until summer? He listed a bunch of players that wouldn't be available all spring at the first press conference. But for Stoudmire he is not telling the truth?
what incentive would he have to be dishonest about not giving players with fumbling problems the football in big moments?
everything Preacher Rhule does is feelings-driven. attempting to apply logic to feelings is a fool's errand.
Preacher Rhule schtick is getting pretty stale- but you do you.
I agree.
it's been stale since his very first sermon.
unfortunately, we are all subject to it for 2 more years.
Seriously, we've all lived through almost the exact same season like 10 times in a row, with the exact same offseason coachspeak, regardless of head coaches, assistant coaches, players, admins, etc. I don't get why anybody gets hyped up OR bothered by any of this stuff.
So he is lying about things that can be proven false in about 30 seconds. The dude is either here and practicing or he isn't. No feelings involved.
Silly hill to die on. but whatever
I am talking specifically about Stoudmire being on campus and practicing this spring. Verghese, Benning and Ravi were talking about him today and how he is practicing. But I am sure Rhule is lying.
oh, good! the writer on this site apparently botched that report hilariously.
I am never surprised by the ongoing incompetence surrounding Nebraska Football.
I've yet to see any mention of Stoudmire outside of Rhule saying he's full go, nor a picture of him in the clips

No roster photo either.
Could not be less excited about Jones.

WHAT? He didn’t say that he’s a “Sunday guy”?
If memory serves me right...so should have TO. We all know how that ended.Fred probably should have been fired years ago
