Notre Dame QB Kenny Minchey Transfers to Nebraska, Replacing Dylan Raiola

Kenny Minchey, a former four-star recruit and Notre Dame backup, joins Nebraska's 2026 quarterback competition aiming for a starting role after transferring post Notre Dame QB battle.

  • This past week, Notre Dame transfer quarterback Kenny Minchey committed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers to compete for the 2026 starting job, confirmed by Husker247 and Irish Illustrated.
  • After losing the competition to CJ Carr, Minchey entered the transfer portal, which opened Jan. 2 and runs through Jan. 16, following Carr staying healthy in South Bend, Indiana.
  • A dual-threat quarterback, Kenny Minchey completed 20-of-26 passes for 196 yards, rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown, and was a four-star recruit and No. 12 quarterback in 2023, Marcus Freeman said, `I remember having a conversation with Kenny in our weekly meeting`.
  • Minchey joins TJ Lateef for the immediate quarterback competition in Lincoln, and Nebraska coaches say moves are expected quickly with possibly one more portal QB added.
  • With back-to-back 7-6 seasons, the Huskers need upgrades to reach their 2026 goals, as Minchey joins to help while retaining 2027 quarterback commit Trae Taylor.
