Dylan Raiola, a recent Husker signee, in Lincoln before Nebraska’s big visitation week
The Huskers had their top-ranked signee courtside for Wednesday’s basketball game against Indiana, as the university was set to welcome an extended weekend of transfer portal visitors beginning on Wednesday.
As Dylan Raiola, the quarterback signee, was shown on the Pinnacle Bank Arena video board in the second half, he earned a standing ovation from Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts and his teammates who were sat along the baseline.
Raiola’s presence to peer-recruit will be crucial because Wake Forest transfer Jahmal Banks and Texas transfer Isaiah Neyor, two transfer wide receivers, are set to visit Nebraska this weekend.
Raiola, who is ranked as the top quarterback in the nation by 247Sports, decided not to play in this weekend’s All-American Bowl in San Antonio. Instead, he will begin working on offseason fitness in Lincoln later this month with the rest of his teammates and a group of ten early enrollees. In less than a year, Raiola attended a Nebraska basketball game for the second time. When he came in the arena in February as a recruit, the Husker audience gave him a lot of attention.
Raiola said he switched his commitment the week before National Signing Day and inked with Nebraska because he felt Nebraska was the place he wanted to be because of his family’s ties to Lincoln.
Up there was my uncle. It runs in my family. I went there with my dad,” Raiola said to 247Sports. Simply put, a sizable portion of our family lived in Nebraska. They took my dad, a little Hawaiian boy, and they transformed his life. Every coach, including Coach Osborne, poured their hearts into him. There isn’t anything like the entire support of the state and the city of Lincoln, in my opinion.
