The Nebraska football team officially lost out on the last 2024 quarterback they had made an offer to, though it doesn’t seem remotely shocking.
One of the most interesting things about the Nebraska football team’s approach to 2024 recruiting is that they really did put all their eggs in one quarterback basket. Or to be more accurate, they put those eggs into three baskets.
Dylan Raiola, Daniel Kaelin, and Cutter Boley were the only quarterbacks to get official offers from the Huskers. On Thursday night, the Nebraska football team was officially 0-fer-3 in landing quarterbacks they offered.
Boley was the final of the three that was uncommitted. But he changed that through a Twitter proclamation saying that he had officially decided to join the Kentucky Wildcats.
The timing almost seemed like a bit of a shot at the Cornhuskers, who saw their last two quarterback targets come off the board inside of a week. Kaelin was the first to go elsewhere when he announced he was headed to Missouri much earlier this spring. Raiola chose the Georgia Bulldogs last week.

Nebraska football sees another QB offer go elsewhere
To be fair, it doesn’t appear that the Huskers spent much time or attention on Boley. Especially once Raiola seemed like someone, they might be able to land.
If there was a Plan B for Raiola, it was Kaelin, mainly because he was in-state for the Nebraska football team. Those following Huskers recruiting likely noticed that the only thing that made Boley really stand out was that there weren’t many updates.
It’s possible that there are still some fans hoping that the Cornhuskers can make one final push for Raiola. It seems unlikely that there are going to be many people hoping that Rhule and company will try and start something up with Boley.
At this point, it’s a matter of wishing him well and maybe taking a peek at his college football career when it does get started. Of course, with the transfer portal, never say never when it comes to returning to Nebraska football’s good graces.
