2026 QB Anthony Colandrea -> Nebraska

[SWIHusker]

I just wanna ask……why the heck was Munchy or whatever his name was a pick over this guy??? Blows my mind! A career back up vs a 3 year starter that reminds you of Johnny Football with the way he can run it!

I suspect that Mingey was viewed as a little more... predictable than Colandrea.

From what I've heard about Colandrea, he's exciting but inconsistent. The kind of feast-or-famine wild ride we ain't seen since T-Mart. A speedy sandlot football kinda guy that's practically the opposite of the cerebral statue Raiola.

I like UNLV's RB, but he is small. The guy I don't want is their LT. He makes Corcoran look athletic.

I am content with this. Win with guys who want to be here.

He's the same size as Emmitt Johnson but doesn't have to take as many hits unless he takes off running every other play and doesn't slide.

I'll believe it when he's signed.

It could be a number of factors. Nobody knows exactly when all of the discussions started. But, we do know that we have a staff to evaluate and work on transfers long before the portal opens. We had been talking with the ND QBs team for quite a while. It's possible that Colandrea showed no interest in the portal or to us at that time. So, the discussions progressed with Minchey (sp?).

I have a lot of speculation in that, but it's all a possible way we ended up with our first choice over Colandrea.

Some news outlets are saying he signed on his visit.

He committed has not signed officially yet

 

[GSG]

He committed has not signed officially yet

Yeah I haven't seen anything either. It takes time with the paperwork for the $$$ and for academics

Based on extensive review (one Youtube video of his highlights), he has an opposite style of play as Raiola.

My main concern is keeping him healthy but he looks shifty AF so hopefully he's got EJ's skill of avoiding the direct hits.

i believe we decided to spend our $$$ on new lines instead of dumping so much into the QB. not sure what we offered colandrea but we had munchkin for $1,250,000 until he found a $3 mil offer.
