Dylan Raiola probably possesses a PhD in convincing (or it’s black magic) because this guy is winning over Huskers’ supporters with his actions. Not only is the dual-threat quarterback for the Cornhuskers directing plays on the field, but he is also supporting like a pro and elevating Nebraska’s squad in ways that speak volumes. As the Huskers close up a 6-6 season, conversations around Dylan’s future don’t seem to stop. But his latest move might be a massive blow to the transfer portal rumors.

With the title, “Huskers Family!” Dylan Raiola posted a story on his Instagram account on December 14. Additionally, it said, “B1G W 🤝 @huskermbb.” The video clip showed him going to basketball games in Nebraska and calling the athletes his family. Raiola shook hands with each player to express gratitude after the Huskers won the match. Is any more proof needed to show he is a Cornhusker? His actions might be a straightforward answer to everyone doubting his faithfulness to Nebraska. And boy, what a way to put an end to all the rumors!

On top of that, in a three-word exchange earlier, Raiola reaffirmed his sincere commitment to Nebraska. According to Chris Hummer of 247Sports, a number of organizations had ‘kept an eye’ on QB Dylan Raiola back on December 10. On Monday night, the quarterback dispelled the reports on social media. His tweet read, “All in! GBR.”

Raiola has three more years of eligibility left, and he is only a freshman. He led Nebraska to a 6-6 record in his first season of collegiate football, passing for 2,595 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Regarded as the best quarterback in the class of 2024, the 5-star prospect. However, the QB originally committed to Ohio State but later changed his mind about the Bulldogs.

So we get where the doubts about his commitment or stability towards Nebraska arose from. But if not the Bulldogs or Nebraska, then who? Miami could be an intriguing prospect.

What’s Dylan Raiola’s transfer request status amid Miami rumors?

What’s your perspective on:

Is Dylan Raiola's loyalty to Nebraska genuine, or is he just biding time for a better offer?

Have an interesting take?

Raiola might consider the Hurricanes, who just finished with a 10-2 record under HC Mario Cristobal, a desirable alternative. Miami may be searching for a player who can make an early impact to cover for quarterback Cam Ward, a transfer from WA State who is expected to join the NFL in 2025.

As of now, Raiola’s drive for championships and competitive spirit fit in nicely with Miami’s path. The fact that his grandfather was a member of the Hurricanes adds an interesting dimension to the possible transfer. According to a recent report by Chris Hummer, Raiola’s camp is looking at possibilities with schools that could contend for a national title. Hummer said, “There’s been some worry around Nebraska he may depart.” And that the choice would probably put title potential ahead of financial benefits.

Nevertheless, Dylan’s supportive posts for Nebraska might have ended many speculations. The quarterback is not currently on the transfer site, so it is possible he has shunned the Miami option and is sticking with the Cornhuskers, at least for now.
