2024 Ohio State Quarterback Commit Dylan Raiola Shines At Steve Clarkson's QB Retreat

The future Buckeye put his arm strength and recruiting abilities on display during the annual event.

Chandler, Ariz., five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola may have two years of high school left, but he showed this weekend why he’s considered one of the nation’s top signal-callers – regardless of class.

In fact, during a long toss competition at Steve Clarkson’s Quarterback Retreat in Los Angeles, the 6-foot-3 and 225-pound Raiola casually tossed a 72-yarder. He also put his unique arm angles on display in a variety of drills, only furthering the comparisons to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Not going to lie, it was a lot of fun watching #OhioState class of 2024 five-star quarterback @RaiolaDylan rip it at Day 1 of #TheQBRetreat.

Watching him throw from a variety of arm angles with elite velocity is something else: https://t.co/4vqSICz2nF@Bucknuts247 @247Sports pic.twitter.com/UKKr7BKmM3

The event doubled as a recruiting opportunity for Raiola, who became the first member of the Buckeyes’ 2024 class earlier this month. He notably spent time with 2023 five-star wide receivers Brandon Inniss and Carnell Tate, as well as 2024 Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco five-star safety Peyton Woodyard.

Raiola also had the chance to hang out with redshirt sophomore quarterback C.J. Stroud and junior wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who were among the handful of college prospects attending the annual showcase.

Strengthening those relationship will only help, as Raiola cannot sign with Ohio State for more than 18 months. But no matter the wait, the future is clearly bright for the Buckeyes at the quarterback position.
