2024 No. 1 recruit Dylan Raiola to visit Nebraska

QB Dylan Raiola, the no. 1 recruit in the 2024 class, will take an unofficial visit to Nebraska, according to Rivals.

Quarterback Dylan Raiola, the number one recruit in the 2024 class, will take an unofficial visit to Nebraska this weekend, according to Rivals.

Curiously, Adam Gorney of Rivals added that Raiola is “not rethinking his commitment to Ohio State”.

The visit could be related to his younger brother Dayton Raiola. Nebraska recently extended an offer to Dayton Raiola. Dayton Raiola attends Chandler High School in Chandler, AZ, alongside his older brother. He is a member of the 2026 class.

The Raiola brothers have a couple of connections to Nebraska. Their father, Dominic Raiola, played center for the Cornhuskers, and he was an All-American in 2000. Their uncle, Donovan Raiola, is currently an offensive line coach for the Cornhuskers.

Below is a short photo gallery of Dylan Raiola.
