Nebraska's QB Battle: Colandrea, Lateef, Kaelin

Nebraskas 2026 football season hinges on its quarterbacks, with three experienced contenders: senior Anthony Colandrea, sophomore TJ Lateef, and sophomore Daniel Kaelin. Colandrea, with the most playing time, impresses coach Matt Rhule with his confidence, mobility, and deep-ball throws. Lateef, who stepped up last year, and Kaelin, with Virginia experience, also vie for the position. Spring practices focus on scramble plays to fit Colandreas style, with all three quarterbacks having real college reps. The offense and defense are evenly matched, aiming to peak by fall, letting the QB battle unfold naturally.
