Commitment Secured
Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea has agreed to play his final season with the Cornhuskers in 2027. The decision keeps the signal caller in Lincoln after he spent two seasons at Virginia before moving to UNLV in 2025 and then joining Nebraska in 2026. He enters the year as a fifth-year player.
Strong Production
Colandrea ranks third in the Big Ten in total offense with 271.9 yards per game. This season he has thrown for 14 touchdowns against four interceptions. He has added 334 rushing yards and four scores on the ground while averaging 4.9 yards per carry.
Roster Clarity
The return gives Nebraska a clear starter at quarterback heading into 2027 and supports recruiting efforts around the position. The program also holds a commitment from the No. 3-ranked quarterback and No. 44 overall prospect in the 2027 class, who is playing his senior year at Millard South High School in Omaha.
