This excerpt provides more information on the situation mentioned earlier, where high-profile quarterback Dylan Raiola reportedly flipped from Georgia to Nebraska due to encouragement from Kirk Herbstreit. According to Dominic Raiola, Dylan’s father and a former All-American at Nebraska, Herbstreit called him to ask about the situation and encouraged him to pursue the opportunity at Nebraska. Other coaches also reportedly reached out to encourage Dylan to consider the school, indicating that it may be a special place with strong leadership. It is still unclear why Herbstreit in particular was so interested in Dylan Raiola’s choice of colleges, but his encouragement seems to have been a factor in the decision.
This excerpt provides additional background information on Dylan Raiola, the high-profile quarterback who reportedly flipped from Georgia to Nebraska. Raiola had previously committed to Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs before changing his mind and committing to Nebraska. Raiola has connections to the Nebraska program through his family – his uncle, Dominic Raiola, is the offensive line coach for the Cornhuskers. In an interview with ESPN, Raiola expressed his belief that Nebraska is “in his blood” and that it presents a great opportunity for him to be part of something larger than himself. Raiola was rated as the No. 2 overall player in the country by 247 Sports and had previously committed to Ohio State before committing to Georgia. He has also attended three different high schools in three different states over the past three years.
