Nebraska found a quarterback in the transfer portal Tuesday evening. UNLV's Anthony Colandrea committed to the Huskers, becoming a key grab for the team heading into the 2026 season.
Colandrea comes to Nebraska following a massive junior year with the Rebels. The St. Petersburg, Florida, native finished the 2025 season throwing for 3,459 yards, 23 touchdowns, and nine interceptions with a 65.9 completion percentage. He also ran for 649 yards and 10 touchdowns. His play earned him the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year award.

Colandrea averaged 247 passing yards, just under two touchdowns and less than one interception off just under 20 completions and just under 30 attempts per game. His season-best game occurred against New Mexico, when he finished 36-of-46 for 382 yards and three touchdowns.
Prior to UNLV, Colandrea played two seasons at Virginia, where he initially committed out of high school. Across 19 games, he totaled 4,083 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns and 20 interceptions. He now joins a Nebraska team that lost sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola to the transfer portal..
