HOW QUICKLY CAN DYLAN RAIOLA CONTRIBUTE AT NEBRASKA?

The depth chart for quarterbacks at Nebraska has two sophomores and a junior. However, all three quarterbacks, Jeff Sims, Heinrich Haarberg, and Chuba Purdy struggled in 2023. Nebraska has not signed any quarterbacks via the transfer portal, so the chance of Raiola seeing the field next season is perfect. With Raiola’s commitment, expect at least one of the three quarterbacks on the roster to transfer out.

SCOUTING DYLAN RAIOLA

Dylan Raiola has a very good size for a quarterback and is tough to bring down. He has good mobility in the pocket and can move when needed to make a throw. He had better-rushing success in his senior year than his junior year, confirming that he is a legitimate threat to run with the ball. Big-time arm talent who has one of the better deep balls I’ve seen. His throws seem effortless, both when zipping a pass in as well as putting some touch on the ball. Raiola has the size, the arm, and the ability to step in and be a starter at a Power Five school, especially one that had three quarterbacks struggling last season.
