Dylan Raiola spotted at Nebraska wrestling match during official visit
There are multiple college football programs in the running for the services of five-star prospect quarterback Dylan Raiola. And the former Georgia Bulldogs commit was recently spotted attending a sporting event for one of the teams targeting him.

More on Raiola and his chances of landing at Nebraska
Nebraska swiping Georgia commit Dylan Raiola appears more likely by the day. On Tuesday, during an appearance on “College Football Live,” ESPN’s Pete Thamel provided an update on the five-star quarterback’s situation.
“It looks like we’re on the cusp of the biggest flip of flipping season,” Thamel said. “Dylan Raiola, who had been committed to Georgia, and was previously committed to Ohio State, appears to be in line to commit to Nebraska.”
Nebraska was in the race when Raiola initially committed to Georgia. Thus, a flip wouldn’t be as last-minute as it may seem. His fall semester ends on Dec. 20 and he will be eligible to begin practicing with his collegiate program the day after their respective bowl game.
Additionally, Raiola boasts strong families ties with the Cornhuskers. His father played there in college. Further, his uncle — Donovan Raiola — is currently on Rhule’s staff as the offensive line coach and recently received a contract extension.
Thamel believes Raiola’s decision could be just around the corner.
“I was told last night that Nebraska’s coaches reached out to Daniel Kaelin, who was their quarterback commitment for this upcoming cycle in 2024. He’s a local kid from Bellevue West. And they said, basically, they were expecting a commitment from Raiola,” Thamel continued.
“Therefore, they were giving Kaelin the option to stay and they guaranteed his NIL and his scholarship, but they wanted to let him know he would have company in this upcoming class. Again, it’s never done until it’s done in recruiting. But, it looks like Dylan Raiola may be a Cornhusker and we’ll find out in the upcoming days.”
