Chandler (Ariz.) five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola is in attendance for Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship between Georgia and TCU, On3 has learned.

Raiola will be attending a game as a fan despite holding offers from both Georgia and TCU. His older sister is currently enrolled at TCU on scholarship as a volleyball player.

The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder is the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

A former Ohio State commitment, Raiola decommitted from the Buckeyes on Dec. 17. Both the Bulldogs and Horned Frogs, along with USC, Nebraska, and Oregon, have been in contact with Raiola since he backed off his pledge to the Buckeyes.

Dylan Raiola Scouting Summary

Advanced arm talent with the ability to make a wide variety of high-level throws as a high school underclassman. Looks like the top quarterback prospect and overall arm talent in the 2024 cycle early on. Physically developed at around 6-foot-3, 210 pounds. Has a natural, loose throwing motion with unique arm dexterity to deliver off-platform and from multiple arm slots. Already has a deep catalog of throws as a rising junior in high school. Easily drives the ball to all levels of the field. Played both under center and in the shotgun as a sophomore.

Ahead of the curve as a ball-handler and in the quick passing game. Shows good footwork and awareness in the pocket. Capable of creative plays in the face of pressure. Primarily a pass-first quarterback as a sophomore, not running for many yards. Turned in one of the more productive sophomore seasons among top 2024 quarterbacks. The son of 14-year NFL center Dominic Raiola. Also a standout baseball player as a pitcher and catcher.
