Walk on TE
- Thread starter skin-tight
- Start date
Pretty cool that he immediately became 6'3 after committing as a TE.

And we were going to spend a scholarship and NIL money on him just to appease the Raiola family? At least Rhule did one thing right by cutting them all loose.
I’m of the thought that Dayton’s role in life (sadly) has been predetermined to be Dylan’s pal and cheerleader. Uncle served that role while at NU, now Dayton who was a QB on a undefeated Buford team, can only allow himself to placed as a walkon TE at Oregon vs venturing out on his own as a possible QB at lower level FCS team. Good luck.
The amount of posters here who went to bat over and over for Dayton’s recruitment will never be forgotten

I agree with this. Sad state for Dayton, really - living in the shadow like that. He will be a practice dummy and hopefully get a degree out of the deal.
No tears shed for any of the Raiola girls. They're all set for life.
I get it from the monetary standpoint, but living your life knowing "you're not that dude" would be tough. Proverbial little brother takes new meaning here in this next handout.
Multiple high schools attended, multiple college commitments before enrolling...should have been a red flag for any football coach.
Crediting MR is laughable.
I hope Dayton does well there. He was never going to be a QB at a major school. And I’m not going to put him down because their family is very close and they want to do things together. I wish more families in America were doing that.
Nebraska’s lack of success since Dylan came to Lincoln can’t all be laid at his feet. There were more than a handful of other issues every year he was here.
I wish Dylan and Dayton success in their careers. Just not on the field versus Nebraska.
I just wish Kong didn't act like there was a huge number of posters that defended the Dayton recruitment like he's implying.
1. Dude looks about 5"10 standing next to his brother and uncles. My best friend is 6'6 and he towered over Dylan standing next to him.
2. This makes me think that Dylan's options were much more limited than I thought. By virtue of being a Top10 team, Oregon was able to get the Raiola family to accept Dylan coming in as a #2 and have Dayton walk on.
3. A likely scenario in the Raiolas being encouraged to look elsewhere could be that they wanted more for both kids because we sucked, and that alone made it easier for the program to cut ties.
4. Teammates still say they have positive communications with Dylan, so good luck to him until he plays against us on the field.

IF it was a package deal with the Raiolas, I’d rather have both of them instead of just Jett
After all, he did have a lot of "upside" and he was still growing. We were "lucky" to get in on him before everyone found out about him.
I stand by my correct view on the matter
Just Jett >>>>> the Raiola brothers and their hangers on
and many, many posters proclaimed their support for more nepotism instead of less
God bless u all for being entertaining reading on my flight. This thread now has potential
Zero.Based on what? How many college snaps has JT taken?
And he has the same number of ranked wins as dyldo.
Rhule having Kyle McCord on campus ready to sign in spring 24 and the Raiolas pulling their power play the same day changed the trajectory of the program. Ever since it's been about keeping them happy up until the USC game in 25. Nebraska probably wins eight games or more in 24 with McCord and they have Kaelin and Lateef on the roster in spring 25. I assume they look at a transfer quarterback also but not everything would be revolving around one family and trying to keep them happy, especially after they shopped Dylan in the 24 off season. Retaining the uncle, giving the sister a recruiting office job, giving Dayton a pity party scholarship in 26 and eliminating any chance of recruiting a real quarterback in this class.
If comparing little Raiola to Jett.. one just won the HS national title the other just beat the mighty titans of Papio South by 49.. who knows how either pan out in college, clearly he was always a packaged deal with Dylan..
i'm not delusional enough to believe that Kyle McCord would've been successful at a Matt Rhule-led team.
The program's battery died when when Trev hired Rhule. Dannen threw the charger in the pool when he signed him to the extension.
Better luck in 2028.
I probably would've enjoyed Dylan’s time more if he was a 3-star recruit, didn’t have an uncle as a coach, and did not have a younger brother. This family situation is messed up and makes me so glad they are all gone (although I wouldn’t mind having Dylan in a program without dad, uncle, brother, as long as he has to compete for the job).
Seeing Dayton tag along with his brother again makes me chuckle. The 6’3’’ thing make me laugh out loud. Embarrassing for little brother if you ask me.
Rhule sold part of his soul to that family and it hurt the program.. 2 years ago, I wish we had gotten McCord, a new O-line Coach, and no input from the Raiola peanut gallery for the last two years. I couldn’t predict what would happen with this family or what Dylan would do on the field, but good heavens… I could see a mile away that uncle Donovan was a horrible coach and not worth the price of getting the recruit.

So now we have a reset with multiple QBs who have starting experience. The QB competition should be interesting.
what's funny is we had a guy in this board who said he was a legit D1 QB talent. At some point even tried to justify taking him over thomalla. I won't mention his name but it rhymes with....lol
holla
Problem is at least one of the guys who Kong is talking about wouldn't even admit that. It's one thing to say it was the case and u understand that in order to get Dylan you had to take Dayton. But this particular poster doubled down on the "Dayton is a legit offer" and their was no nepotism lol. His name rhymes with...lol
Holla
