Dylan Raiola has a lot to prove in the 2026 season.

The Oregon Ducks landed Nebraska quarterback transfer Dylan Raiola earlier this offseason. It was a huge signing for a program that is coming off its deepest College Football Playoff run ever. The quarterback knew his time with the Cornhuskers was over, having started for Nebraska over the last two seasons.

This move was likely in the works after Nebraska parted ways with offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, who is Dylan’s uncle. Then, Dylan’s younger brother Dayton Raiola decommitted from the Huskers.

His 2025 season ended prematurely due to an injury. It still did not stop Oregon from putting on an all-out blitz to get him into their program.

Social media is going crazy this week over news regarding Dylan Raiola and how he ended up at Oregon.

One post garnering attention shows a recruiting pitch allegedly sent by the school to the quarterback. It said Oregon gave the quarterback $1.8 million upfront to commit, and he would receive another $1 million if he were a Heisman finalist.

The post also said he would receive a signature Oregon jersey combination collaboration. The final offer was a private suite of any NFL team of his choice. That post has been viewed nearly 800,000 times. Unfortunately, none of it was true. The account it came from is a parody.

Social media still had a lot to say.

“Waste of money,” one person said.

“Good riddance. Go be mediocre somewhere else. He will never be good enough for the NFL,” a second fan wrote.

“Dylan Raiola is about to be at every Chiefs home game taking notes of every motion Mahomes makes,” a third fan added.

“Talk about overspending. No offense, and I wish him well, but that’s too much,” one final fan commented.

Raiola suffered a season-ending broken fibula in November. The injury required surgery, but he was expected to recover for the 2026 season. He completed 181-of-250 passes for 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns in his nine games last year. Oregon expects him to be much better to keep them in the National Title conversation.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
