Dylan Raiola Commits To Georgia

Quarterback Dylan Raiola delivered a shock to the recruiting world this evening. The former Ohio State pledge announced that he has committed to the Georgia Bulldogs.

Some buzzwords are often overused in recruiting. Elite, generational, and special are common terms applied every cycle, which is untrue. However, you can get a prospect that defines all those characteristics, which is who Dylan Raiola is.

Raiola is a Phoenix, Arizona, native that has put up absurd stats in his three seasons as a starter. He has thrown for 54 touchdowns in the past two seasons, an absurd number only outmatched by his game tape. He has it all: the 6-3 and 225-pound frame, the absurd arm talent, and the presnap prowess.

USC, Nebraska, and Georgia all trendsd in his recruitment. The Trojans laid out the red carpet on a recent unofficial visit, and reports confirm that head coach Lincoln Riley didn't leave Raiola's side. If Riley, one of the sport's best offensive minds, is placing that much of a premium on him, that should signify the prospect we are dealing with.

Tennessee likely wouldn't make the cut in this recruitment. USC has the California appeal while offering an elite offensive system, Nebraska employs Raiola's uncle as their offensive line coach, and Georgia is defending two consecutive national titles. It would be an uphill battle for the Volunteers, especially for an Arizona recruit. Additionally, they already have 2023’s No. 1 player, quarterback Nico Iamaleava, on the roster.
