Dylan Raiola’s quarterback brother, Dayton, decommits from Nebraska
There won’t be a Raiola succession plan in Lincoln.
Dayton Raiola — a three-star passer in the 2026 recruitment class and the brother of current Cornhuskers QB, Dylan — decommitted from Nebraska on Wednesday morning before the early signing period. Dayton is the seventh-ranked uncommitted pocket passer, according to ESPN.
Nebraska now no longer has a 2026 quarterback commit with Raiola’s decision.
“My recruitment is 100% open,” Raiola told Rivals’ Chad Simmons.
He had originally committed to play for Nebraska in September 2024 after selecting the Big Ten program over Appalachian State and Charlotte.
Raiola has been a two-year starter at Buford High School in Georgia.
The move by him puts the Cornhuskers’ 2026 recruiting class in a precarious position with just nine pledges three weeks before the early signing period.
Nebraska already has one of the smallest recruiting classes in the FBS for 2026.
The Raiola name carries a bit of weight with the Nebraska football program, with Dayton and Dylan’s father, Dominic, having played for the Cornhuskers in the late ’90s and early 2000s and their uncle, Donovan, currently the offensive line coach for the program.
Dylan Raiola is out for the remainder of the year after he broke his fibula on Nov. 1 against USC, but prior to the injury, he had passed for 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns in nine starts for Nebraska this season.
True freshman quarterback TJ Lateef has been starting for Nebraska with Raiola out with the injury, helping to lead them to a win over UCLA on Nov. 8 with a 205 passing yards and three touchdowns.
While the 2026 class may be small, Nebraska does have a commitment from four-star quarterback prospect Trae Taylor for 2027.
