In 2024 Raiola Set Nebraskas freshman records with 67.1% completion percentage and 2,819 passing yards. With Current Oregon Ducks starting quarterback Dante Moore deciding to return for his senior year, it was a calculated move by Raiola to compete while developing behind Moore.
Koi Perich, SAF
It’s a bird, it’s a plane. No ducks fans that’s just koi perich. Former Minnesota Golden Gopher and freshman all American Koi Perich has found his new home at Oregon. In 2024 Perich led the Big Ten with five interceptions as a freshman, he was All Big Ten first team in 2024 and Second team in 2025.

With over 1k in return yards and offensive ability Dan Lanning struck gold with koi Perich.
Inversion Hooks, WR
Iversion Hooks may not be a household name of college football, but his impact on the field is very well known. During The 2025 game against Memphis, with 172 yards Iverson Hooks set a single game FBS record for receiving yards against a ranked opponent by an underclassman. His 11 catches are also tied for fifth most in single game UAB history. Hooks then also received American conference player of the week.

Markus Dixon, TE/Edge
