Preston Stone, a graduate transfer from SMU, takes over Northwestern QB job with ‘earned confidence'
Preston Stone has found that summers in Evanston come with a natural team-bonding activity. The quarterback transfer from SMU and his new Northwestern teammates often wrap up workouts and head straight to the beach. The trips have served as more than just a method to cool off in a summer not nearly as hot as the Dallas ones Stone knows. 'The biggest thing with that is having great relationships,' Stone said after Northwestern's seventh training camp practice last week. 'Establishing that first, so that opens the door where if I have to get into a guy a little bit or vice versa, they know it's coming from a great place.' Coach David Braun was pleased with how quickly Stone built relationships with his new teammates when he arrived on campus in January. Within three weeks, the Wildcats voted Stone onto their leadership council, well before it was publicly official that he would be Northwestern's starter this season. Braun made that announcement at Big Ten media days last month in Las Vegas, disclosing that 2024 starter Jack Lausch left the team to focus on his baseball career. Lausch threw for 1,714 yards with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in 10 starts for the 4-8 Wildcats last season. Stone said Lausch was one of his favorite players in the locker room when he arrived. But Stone also settled in Evanston with a starting mindset. 'Kind of since Day 1, I've had the mentality that I'm going to do what it takes to get on the field,' he said. 'That starts in the locker room, weight room and winter workouts. So whether it was a public announcement or not, I've always had the mentality of, 'Put the blinders on and I'm going to do what I need to do to prove myself.'' Stone, a four-star high school recruit with offers from some of the biggest college programs, including Michigan and Ohio State in the Big Ten, lost the starting job three games into his junior season at SMU. As a sophomore, he threw for 3,197 yards and 28 touchdowns with six interceptions in 12 starts for the Mustangs before breaking his leg in late November 2023. He returned in time to be a part of a quarterback rotation for the 2024 season. But he lost the starting job to Kevin Jennings when coach Rhett Lashlee said the Mustangs simply moved the ball better with Jennings at the helm. As Jennings led SMU to a College Football Playoff berth, Stone said he had to embrace a 'servant leader' role to help his teammates from the sideline. 'You put in all of the work in the offseason — and even going back to when you're a little kid, you dream of being the guy out there on Saturdays — and then when that opportunity is taken away from you, it can hurt from a personal standpoint,' Stone said. 'But those guys on the field are still the same guys you've been putting in work this whole offseason with. 'So I feel like that experience, it was humbling for sure and also gave me so much more of an appreciation for the opportunity I'm going to have this year.' Stone called his entry into the transfer portal in December 'a crazy experience.' He was trying to help SMU prepare for its first-round CFP matchup with Penn State. He was in the middle of finals as he prepared to graduate. And he also was having conversations with a few potential new teams, with a little more than a week to make his decision. His talks with Braun and Northwestern offensive coordinator Zach Lujan stood out. 'There was just a level of sincerity and belief in myself that I felt like was different (with Braun),' Stone said. 'Getting an opportunity to meet with him to see how good of a leader, how good of a coach he was, that played a huge part in it. 'Getting to sit down with Coach Lujan for a couple hours and seeing how he gives the quarterback the keys to the car. It's a very empowering position in his offense and the way he does things, and I feel like those two things were a huge differentiator.' Now Stone and the Wildcats hope they can lift each other up after their separate 2024 disappointments. In the months he has worked with Stone, Braun said the quarterback's high-level processing, deep-ball accuracy and sound decision-making while on the move have stood out. In meetings and player-coach dialogues, Stone's knowledge of the game comes through. And Braun said he has been 'blown away' by Stone's ability to connect with teammates. 'Not only from an offensive perspective, but our entire team believes in that guy and wants to battle for that guy,' Braun said. 'And that's a common thread of the winning quarterbacks that I've been around throughout my career.' Braun was open about the 'self-evaluation' required after last season's dip to 4-8 following an 8-5 debut season in 2023 in which he was named Big Ten Coach of the Year. He has tried to set clearer lines of communication and clearer standards the players must meet. Stone must play a key role in setting those standards, and he said he tries to build the trust of his coaches and teammates 'coming from a place of earned confidence.' 'There's potential to step on the field and tell yourself you're confident without actually putting the work in,' Stone said. 'So the biggest thing for me was just establishing my work ethic for the sake of myself and earning that confidence for myself, but also to establish that relationship with my teammates. They've seen the kind of work I've put in, so they can feel confident in me stepping on the field as well.'

Dylan Raiola, Dana Holgorsen and Nebraska's path to College Football Playoff
We begin with the first meeting last October, and the eyes. May as well have been a neon billboard screaming for attention. 'He was worn out. A little beat up, tired,' Dana Holgorsen says of his first meeting with Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola. 'His head was spinning.' This felt all but inevitable with Raiola. Just a matter of when, and who would pick up the pieces when it broke. That someone was Holgorsen, who fittingly was in the process of reorganizing his own unraveling as – get this – a defensive analyst at Nebraska. One of college football's elite offensive minds and a year removed as head coach at Houston, Holgorsen was breaking down defensive game film last season for Cornhuskers coach Matt Rhule when hope in Lincoln began to look a whole lot like the ugly that got Rhule hired in the first place. Their paths converged in one desperate bye week, after Rhule demoted offensive coordinator and play caller Marcus Satterfield. The coach whose program was spinning its wheels in his second season, and the heralded freshman quarterback who finally hit the wall. And Holgorsen, whose quarterbacks have averaged 31 touchdown passes a season since 2016. 'We just sat there and talked about everything,' Holgorsen said. 'Ten days later, I'm calling plays in the Coliseum at USC. It elevated pretty quickly. It was like learning Japanese in a month.' Fast forward to this summer, and there was Raiola representing Nebraska at Big Ten media days in Las Vegas. Dressed sharply in a black suit with red piping, a pattern of playing cards on the satin lining of his coat. As smooth as the night is long on The Strip. 'I've never felt more comfortable playing football than I do right now,' Raiola said. It has been a long road, made more difficult by what he saw coming all along, what he couldn't see — and frankly, some difficulty of his own making. He knew what he was walking into at Nebraska, and it wasn't just the idea of rebuilding a lost national power. His name was All-America royalty at Nebraska (his dad and uncle starred for the Huskers), and he played hard to get for nearly two years of high school hype before finally signing. He committed to Ohio State, then switched Georgia, and then made Rhule sweat it out before finally committing to Nebraska two days before national signing day. And the next thing you know, Nebraska wins five of six to begin his freshman season — before losing three in a row and staring at another season of failing to simply qualify for a bowl game. Imagine that, one of the greatest dynasties in college football history in the 1990s, working on an eighth consecutive season of failing to win six lousy games. The Huskers eventually got bowl eligible, and a seventh win with a Pinstripe Bowl victory. But the enormity of that weight, the pressure of lifting a program – the hopes of a state – from that abyss, hasn't subsided. 'This is what I wanted,' Raiola said. 'It's a privilege to be in this situation.' So he got in better shape in the offseason, dropped his body fat percentage and increased strength and mobility. And he dove into all things Holgorsen, knowing full well what his quarterbacks have accomplished in the past. Graham Harrell, Case Keenum, Geno Smith, Will Grier, Clayton Tune. A Who's Who of mega seasons over the 20 years of college football. More to the point: four of those quarterbacks had breakout seasons in their second full season as starters. Keenum had 44 touchdown passes, Smith had 42, Grier had 37 and Tune had 30. Raiola had 13 touchdown passes in 2024. But get this: Holgorsen says Raiola's football IQ is better than any of his previous quarterbacks. 'He's intelligent and highly competitive,' Holgorsen said. 'He understands run checks and coverages, and fronts and protections, better than anyone I've been around. One hundred percent, it's not even close.' It's not difficult to see where this is headed, where happenstance arrived and three paths met and the symmetry is undeniable. Rhule needs Raiola, who needs Holgorsen, who needs Nebraska. Raiola was talking about the College Football Playoff last month, and why couldn't Nebraska expect to be there? Why wouldn't that be the goal? Rhule added some key pieces from the transfer portal to energize the offense, and more than anything, he kept both Raiola and Holgorsen. It wasn't long after Nebraska beat Boston College for its first bowl win since 2015, that vultures began circling ― for both Raiola and Holgorsen. Rhule told Holgorsen he needed a decision quickly, and Holgorsen found himself staring at Raiola once again. 'I said are you staying? Because if you are, I am,' Holgorsen said. 'He said he was, and we've been full-go since.' Want to know how committed Holgorsen is to Nebraska and Raiola? When he started calling plays last November, Holgorsen used the existing offense and terminology — instead of his wildly successful system based on Mike Leach's Air Raid. Instead of doing a complete install this offseason, he kept Satterfield's offense and verbiage, and added some of his Air Raid principles. Better for one guy to learn a new system, he says, than half a team. How a play is called might be different, Holgorsen insists, but what it looks like is always the same. If it looks anything like the second season for previous Holgorsen quarterbacks, it won't look anything like the last decade of Nebraska football. And that's the whole point of it all. 'I know what people are thinking, it's Nebraska, what have they done,' Raiola said. 'We have a chance to change all of that.' There's your inevitable. Maybe it's just a matter of when.
