Who is Dylan Raiola's sister, Taylor Raiola?

Taylor Raiola was a former TCU Horned Frogs star on the volleyball team. She played as an outside hitter on the team that she joined in 2020.

She had remarkable performances and once registered 22 kills in a game against the Baylor Bears during the 2022 season. The outing ranked her at No. 2 in program history for most kills against a top-10 opponent.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, she revealed that it was one of the enduring high points of her volleyball career.

"The high point of my athletic career at TCU was my sophomore year when the volleyball team played Baylor in November. We had an electric crowd and the game was insanely competitive," Taylor said.

Taylor Raiola earned her master's degree in Social Work after majoring in Youth Advocacy and Educational Studies as an undergraduate, and she vocalized her enthusiasm about the TCU community since she moved to Texas.

"I am honestly most proud of the community that I have built around me. Since coming to TCU, I have made some amazing friendships and relationships that I know will last a lifetime," Taylor said. "I also love that I am not restricted to my community being only my volleyball team. I can branch out and build relationships with classmates, professors, coaches, and even administration!"

Dylan Raiola's sister graduated from the institution in April of this year.

Taylor and Dylan Raiola come from an athletic family, although the former did not enjoy sports as a child until her parents, Dominic and Yvonne, forced her to play water polo, swimming, basketball and tennis.

Her mother, Yvonne Raiola, played water polo for the University of Hawaii, while her father, Dominic Raiola, played college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and was an NFL player for the Detroit Lions.

Taylor regularly attends Dylan Raiola's games as he sets college football on fire despite being a true freshman starting for an elite program at the Division I level.
