The five-star quarterback out of Arizona will be one of the most high profile visitors to the Cornhuskers program since the hiring of new football coach Matt Rhule and represents a major opportunity for the school.

And he'll certainly be welcomed by a familiar face once he gets there: Raiola's uncle Donovan is Nebraska's current offensive line coach.

Dylan's father Dominic was an All-American and Rimington Trophy winner at Nebraska and his No. 54 jersey has been retired by the school.

Dylan Raiola was an Ohio State pledge

Initially, the quarterback announced he had committed to Ohio State as the most high-profile get for the Buckeyes' future 2024 recruiting class.

But Raiola changed his mind at the start of the new year and revealed that he de-committed from Ohio State.

That surprising news re-opened the player's recruiting process in a big way and changed the course of the 2024 football recruiting cycle.

Starting from scratch

"Everything is back on the table," Raiola's father told 247Sports recruiting director Steve Wiltfong recently. 

He added, "His process is almost like it's re-starting. It's not closed off to anybody."

Standing at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds from Chandler, Arizona, Raiola has made a name for himself as a superstar in the 2024 football recruiting class.
