Dylan Raiola is the son of Dominic Raiola
Dylan Raiola is the son of former Nebraska and Detroit Lions offensive lineman Dominic Raiola.
Dominic Raiola had a legendary career for Nebraska from 1998-2000. He started as a freshman on the line before moving to center as a sophomore. His junior year was one for the ages, finishing as a consensus All-American and winning the Rimington Trophy for best center in college football.
He was drafted in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft and embarked on a 14-year NFL career. He played all 14 seasons with the Lions and became the first player in franchise history to play in 200 games with the team.
The whole Raiola clan, including Dylan’s grandmother, made a trip to Lincoln earlier this month for the Huskers’ primetime game against Northwestern.
The atmosphere was electric and made an impression on the quarterback.
“That was special,” Dylan Raiola told the Lincoln Journal Star. “He got to bring his mom as well and she hasn’t been back since he left, so just being able to share it with my whole family was very special to me.”
