Anthony Colandrea Is BACK for 2027! What This Means for Nebraska Football

Sea of Red/October 30, 2026

🚨 ANTHONY COLANDREA IS BACK FOR 2027! 🌽🏈

Nebraska football just received some huge news. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea has reportedly signed a deal to return to the Huskers for the 2027 season, giving Matt Rhule and Dana Holgorsen something every college football program wants: stability at quarterback.

But what does this actually mean for Nebraska's future?

In this episode of Sea of Red, we're breaking down why Colandrea's return is such a big deal, what another year in Holgorsen's offense could mean for his development, and why Nebraska must improve the offensive line and running game to take full advantage of his abilities.

We'll also discuss what this means for five-star quarterback commit Trae Taylor, how Nebraska can build its quarterback room for the future, and why expectations for Matt Rhule's fifth season should be higher than ever.
