Star 2024 quarterback Dylan Raiola adds Alabama offer

Any doubt that Burleson (Texas) High star Dylan Raiola is one of the top quarterbacks in the 2024 cycle continues to be erased.

One day after receiving a scholarship offer from USC, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound sophomore landed a coveted offer from the Alabama Crimson Tide on Friday.

The new offers from Alabama and USC join a lengthy list of teams that have offered him, including Baylor, Florida State, Georgia, Nebraska, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia.

It’s no surprise Raiola continues to rake in offers.

“He’s the best young quarterback I’ve ever seen throw in person,” one Big 10 coach said.

Dylan Raiola has the numbers this season to back that type of claim up. In seven games, Raiola has thrown for 1,992 yards and 17 touchdowns with only three interceptions. He’s also completing 64% of his passes and added another 56 yards rushing.

Raiola was busy this summer attending camps and taking unofficial visits. He took trips to Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Nebraska and Clemson earlier this summer. People are still buzzing in Lincoln after he impressed at the Huskers’ summer camp.

He has returned for games this fall to Nebraska, Texas and Georgia.

Dylan Raiola is son of Dominic Raiola

Dylan Raiola is the son of former Nebraska and Detroit Lions offensive lineman Dominic Raiola.

Dominic Raiola had a legendary career for Nebraska from 1998-2000. He started as a freshman on the line before moving to center as a sophomore. His junior year was one for the ages, finishing as a consensus All-American and winning the Rimington Trophy for best center in college football.

Dominic Raiola was drafted in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft and embarked on a 14-year NFL career. He played all 14 seasons with the Lions. He became the first player in franchise history to play in 200 games with the team.

The whole Raiola clan, including Dylan’s grandmother, made a trip to Lincoln earlier this month for the Huskers’ primetime game against Northwestern.

The atmosphere was electric and made an impression on the quarterback.

“That was special,” Dylan Raiola told the Lincoln Journal Star. “He got to bring his mom as well and she hasn’t been back since he left, so just being able to share it with my whole family was very special to me.”
