I have a question about Dayton Raiola

[Tsakoi]

What's up with that guy?


His recruitment and subsequent activity following his commitment couldn't be more different when compared to his brother.

What is he up to? Where is he?

Dylan was at every event, camp, all star game that you could think of. He was flying to LA to work out with QB gurus. He was at every Husker event imaginable posing for pictures. Elite camps. Hawaii. You name it we had photos of him doing it.

As far as Dayton goes, I've seen none of that stuff. Honestly it annoyed me when Dylan was everywhere, so did the Raiola family decide Dayton wouldn't do all of that? Or maybe he is working out with gurus and all that but it's just not being publicized. I don't know. Does anyone have any idea? Seems like Trae Taylor is the guy they are building recruiting off of in the same style as Dylan. Dayton can't be found for recruiting, or am I just missing it?

Dayton is a 3 ⭐️. Dylan was a 5 ⭐️ that every school wanted.

Dylan was the #1 overall player in the class of 2024 at one point. Dayton…. Is not

So, then Nebraska is gonna treat him like a less important recruit who won't be peer recruiting, he's not invited to the Polynesian bowl and he won't be working out with NFL QB coaches?

It's a strange situation, if you ask me. It's almost like he's been forgotten, which to me, is weird for a QB recruit to a major conference CFB Blue Blood.

He works out with the same QB coach as his brother.

I don’t have an answer for you and agree curiosity is warranted. I suspect that he’s not as outgoing as Dylan and the fact he’s a mid tier three star who has only ever wanted to play for Nebraska means other people (recruits and media) don’t find him interesting. Therefore, pier recruiting wouldn’t be effective.

I also imagine he’s always been in his brothers shadow and whenever he tries to show off his personality he gets ribbed for not being Dylan. So he just doesn’t put himself out there.

He doesn't dress like Mahomes enough

It's interesting. He's been in his brother's shadow his whole life. When you Google him it even says Dylan Raiola's brother in the caption. Last year was the first year he was able to start to somewhere. He starts at a high level school at Buford. Will see if he blows up any this next year. FWIW Sip said he is actually more personable in person than Dylan. He has his own things going on and does a lot of things that Dylan does but doesn't seen to get the attention.

On the flip side I have no idea how good he can be I hope for him and the coaches sake that he will be because if not they had a high level QB with offers from Alabama in their backyard and will never hear the end of it for not taking him if he isn't.

I also read/heard that he's basically a year behind because of his brother. They were saying a top QB usually is starting by their sophomore year which he wasn't able to do because Dylan was the starter. It will be interesting to see what he can do now that he is out of his brother's shadow. If it ends up not working out the blow will be lessened by having Trae Taylor in the next class.

Dayton was in Lincoln multiple times this spring and I'll bet he makes back in June to help recruit. He works out with the same QB coach Dylan does.

I think the only real difference is that Dylan was a 5* top ranked recruit who's every move made the news.
