The college football transfer portal is currently bustling as it enters its second week, with many of the nation’s top quarterbacks securing new commitments. Notably, two significant names made headlines on Monday morning. Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has opted to commit to Oregon, while former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt has chosen LSU as his next destination.
Raiola’s move to Oregon positions him as a potential backup to Dante Moore, who recently announced his decision to return for another season with the Ducks, strengthening their roster. Meanwhile, Leavitt, who was among the last high-profile players yet to decide on a new school, has been lured to Baton Rouge by coach Lane Kiffin, further bolstering LSU’s quarterback lineup.
In the ongoing shift of quarterbacks, former Florida QB DJ Lagway remains in discussions with other programs despite having verbally committed to Baylor. Ole Miss has emerged as one of the schools expressing interest in Lagway.
On a different note, clarity has returned for Washington quarterback Demond Williams, who had a brief flirtation with the transfer portal but ultimately decided to return to the University of Washington just two days after attempting to enter.
As the college football landscape continues to evolve with these high-profile transfers, the window for players to secure new opportunities is steadily closing, with the transfer portal set to close on January 16. Fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close watch on further developments during this unprecedented transfer frenzy.
