Had Dylan Raiola stuck with his original commitment as a high school recruit, he’d be competing to be Ohio State’s starting quarterback right now. Instead, he’s preparing for his second year as the starter at Nebraska.
A five-star prospect who was at one time ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, Raiola was expected to be Ohio State’s quarterback of the future when he committed to the Buckeyes in May 2022. That December, however, Raiola decommitted from Ohio State. The script repeated itself in 2023, when Raiola committed to Georgia in May before ultimately signing with Nebraska in December.
