Nebraska gets five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola from Georgia in a major recruiting win.
Dylan Raiola, a five-star quarterback, said on Monday that his name will sign via Nebraska as opposed to Georgia’s 2024 signing class. Uncle Donovan works for the Huskers as an offensive line coach.
After going to Buford (Ga.) High School, the star player will do what his father did and go to Lincoln. His father, Dominic, had been an All-American long lineman before playing 14 seasons in the NFL.
Raiola told ESPN, “I really think Nebraska has penetrated my blood.” “This is a great chance for me to be a part of a cause bigger than myself.” Nebraska is a unique spot.
But next season, rising senior Carson Beck will be back at quarterback for the Bulldogs. Raiola can instead try to assist Nebraska end its seven-year bowl drought and add to its five national titles and three Heisman winners record.
The player said, “I think it’ll mean a great deal to bring it back.” “Just because of the history of all the great players who have gone through that locker room—to keep doing what they started.”
Coach Matt Rhule got a huge boost by adding Raiola. Rhule went 5-7 in his first season back in college football via Nebraska. In his last year of high school, the quarterback threw for 2,666 yards, 34 touchdowns, and one interception.
Georgia will now have three five-star pledges for the 2024 class, plus Ryan Puglisi, a four-star prospect. Raiola said he is going to start school early in January and build on his family’s history in Lincoln.
Rakiya said, “I think I know the history of the program because my dad was there.” “I also know the history of my family there, as well as the fans’ hopes and dreams.”
I have a lot of faith in the goals and work ethic that Coach Rhule has has set up with his team.
ESPN’s top pocket-passing quarterback prospect for 2024, Dylan Raiola, told ESPN on Monday that he is changing his college choice from Georgia to Nebraska. The 2024 ESPN 300 lists Raiola as the eighth best player in the world.
Based on ESPN Stats & Information, Raiola’s pledge makes him the top high school recruit to choose Nebraska since the company started keeping track of rankings in 2006. This could be a huge turning point for Nebraska football.
In a phone interview on Monday, Raiola talked about how his lifelong love of Nebraska sports affected his choice.
He went to that school and played offensive line as an All-American as a child, and his uncle Michael is the offensive line coach there.
Raiola told ESPN, “I really think Nebraska has penetrated my blood.” “This is a great chance for me to be a part of a project bigger than myself.” Nebraska is a unique spot.
Raiola has been linked to three universities in the recruiting process. Nebraska is the third one. Early to May 2022, he made a promise to Ohio State, but in May 2023, he changed his mind and chose Georgia.
They found out on Monday that quarterback Carson Beck will be back for his final year in 2024. Beck had a 12-1 record in his first season as a starter.
Raiola said there is some appeal to the idea of possibly bringing success back to the Cornhuskers after a seven-year bowl drought that has been caused by three different head coaches. Five national titles and three Peabody Trophy winners have been won by Nebraska.
The player said, “I think it’ll mean a lot to bring it back.” “Just because of the history of all the great players who have gone through that locker room, to keep doing what they started.”
For Matt Rhule, who had a 5-7 record in his first season as coach, the loss to Nebraska was a big turning point early in his job.
This year, Nebraska’s QB play was all over the place, and the team had the No. 126 passing attack and the No. 120 scoring offense in the country. In scoring defense, rush defense, and overall defense, the Cornhuskers were in the top twenty.
Rhule was a successful coach at Temple and Baylor in the past. He then worked as an NFL coach for three years before going back to Nebraska. Raiola had a strong reaction to him.
“I believe from my father being there that I understand the background of the program,” Raiola told me.
“I also know the history of my family there, as well as the fans’ hopes and dreams.” I have a lot of faith in the goals and work ethic that Coach Rhule has set up with his team.
Raiola played football in high school in both Texas or Arizona. This past summer, he moved to Buford High School in Georgia. In his last season, he threw for 2,666 yards, 34 touchdowns, or only one pick.
Raiola wants to start early at Nebraska and be there in January. He went there over the weekend with the idea that he was going to make a commitment there.
