Dayton Raiola's brother Dylan is a top prospect

Dayton's brother, Dylan, is a top prospect for the 2024 class. According to 247 Sports, the young quarterback is a 5-star recruit. Initially, the highly sought-after prospect committed to Georgia but recently flipped his recruitment to Nebraska.

While at face value it could seem surprising to see a five-star recruit exchange Georgia for Nebraska, given Dylan's family history, it seems rather unsurprising.

His father Dominic was an offensive lineman for the Cornhuskers from 1998 until 2000. He had a distinguished career, earning First Team All-Big Ten honors in 1999 and 2000, and a Consensus All-American selection in 2000. He also earned the Rimington Trophy for the best college football center in 2000.

As a senior at Buford High, Dylan led the school to an 11-2 record and the quarterfinals of the Georgia state championship. In 2023, he threw for 2819 yards with 34 touchdowns to go against just one interception. He also recorded three rushing touchdowns.

Buford is his third high school already, having played in Texas in 2021 and Arizona in 2022. In Texas, he was coached by former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna and was selected as the Offensive MVP of his school district.
