Kirk Herbstreit says he didn't push Dylan Raiola to go to Nebraska over Georgia: 'That's the most ridiculous thing anybody would do'

Kirk Herbstreit says he did not push for Dylan Raiola to commit to Nebraska.

The ESPN analyst found himself at the center of one of the biggest recruiting stories of the 2024 cycle this week after former Nebraska center Dominic Raiola talked about a conversation he had with Herbstreit. Dominic Raiola, the father of five-star recruit Dylan Raiola, told Rivals that Herbstreit had called him when news emerged that his son was considering flipping his commitment from Georgia to Nebraska. According to Dominic Raiola, Herbstreit said that Dylan had “got to do it.”
