Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule praised freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola ahead of the season opener against UTEP on August 31. The coach appeared on The Jim Rome Show earlier this week and talked about what makes Raiola unique.
He has tremendous arm talent. He’s big. He’s physical. He’s powerful but its not till he gets here that you truly see what makes him special. He’s a tremendous teammate. He works at it all day long. One of the first guys in the building, one of the last guys to leave. And he’s got humble confidence that exudes from him.
This isn’t the first time that the coach has given the signal-caller his flowers. Earlier this month, he spoke on the Zach Gelb Show, and praised the quarterback’s work ethic. The coach has yet to name a starting quarterback for the opener, although it would be fair to say Raiola is undoubtedly a leading candidate.
It’s almost time for the quarterback to be able to show what he can do on the football field. After all the hype and buzz surrounding his arrival, he can finally show off his talent. There is a significant possibility he could play a big part in the Huskers seeking their first season-opening win since 2019.
