Since Dylan Raiola departed for Oregon, most people think that UNLV transfer Anthony Colandrea is the odds-on starter for Nebraska in 2026. However, not only does On3's Pete Nakos believe it will be a fight for the starting job, he thinks it will be one of the most interesting quarterback battles in the country.
Nakos put out a list of the top College Football QB Battles for the fall of 2026, and the Huskers were among the Top 7 according to the analyst. What's interesting is that he thinks the battle won't be a two-person race, but that NU could have a three-headed monster competing for the starting signal caller.
