Social Media reacts to Dylan Raiola’s suprising visit
Trending on social media can be a mixed bag these days, but Monday night, the news was all positive for the Nebraska Football team. College football analyst Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports reported that five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola would change his commitment from the Georgia to Nebraska.
The legacy recruit committed to the Bulldogs back in May, but his status with that program has recently changed, and the Huskers are taking advantage of the opportunity.
As a senior in high school, Raiola threw for 2,666 yards and 34 touchdowns, and just one interception. He accumulated 8,442 passing yards and 88 touchdowns with 11 interceptions for his career.
Director of Scouting for 247Sports, Andrew Ivin, had many positive things to say about the prospect.
“Must buy into the process at the program of his choice, but has the natural talent to be a true difference marker on Saturdays and then eventually Sundays if he can avoid setbacks. Might need a redshirt year or two before he’s ready to go, but appears to be ahead of the curve.”
Now, Raiola is scheduled to visit Nebraska this Friday with a chance to bolster the recruiting class of 2024. Find social media reactions to the news below.
Blue chip HS and portal players are going to want N now with Raiola and McCord. Problem is nobody wants to leave Nebraska from the current roster and we’re way over the 85 with a massively full recruiting ‘24 class.
Will be fascinating to see how Rhule navigates it.

Sources: Nebraska coaches have communicated with in-state QB commitment Daniel Kaelin that they are again in contention for a commitment from Top 10 recruit Dylan Raiola, who is committed to UGA. Nebraska coaches have made clear that they still would honor Kaelin’s commitment.

Dylan Raiola has a 0.9965 composite ranking on @247Sports.
Raiola would be the highest rated prospect in Nebraska program history.

If I was a recruit, the hype videos Matt Rhule was cutting all fall would’ve been enough for me to consider Nebraska. Visual smelling salts

Someone explain to me how Nebraska can possibly pull off Kyle McCord and Dylan Raiola off in the same day? #GBR pic.twitter.com/Wx5I42WkEK

Dylan Raiola and Kyle McCord were once going to be teammates this fall at Ohio State.
Now we're talking about them being on the same roster at Nebraska. https://t.co/nUqOMjyqZe pic.twitter.com/3oV5Djv0KR

With Jeff Sims leaving, Dylan Raiola would be a nice insurance plan if Purdy or Haarberg gets hurt again. Smart last-minute thinking by Rhule to reach out again. pic.twitter.com/inTxVdt5tQ

I don’t care what has to happen for McCord and Raiola to get their NIL money
Make it happen
