Dylan Raiola isn’t on the transfer portal yet. But the current volatility regarding the random flipping trend couldn’t just let Rhule sleep on it. The Huskers ended the season on a pretty underwhelming note after a 13-10 loss to Iowa. But it would have been much worse if they didn’t have Raiola around. Rhule knows it the best and hence isn’t leaving a stone unturned to keep the kid intact for a better 2025. But in reverse reality, Raiola is actually turning into a guardian angel for the Nebraska roster. He’s taking some steps forward to lure talents rather than planning a potential jump anytime soon. Didn’t believe it yet? Let’s dig out a secret intel from the Nebraska Hall of Fame Adam Carriker.

Rhule had to do something to do in contrast with a lackluster season, So he brought Dana Holgorsen as an offensive coordinator with a whopping 1.2 million dollar annual package. Now, as the recruitment push is on, we can expect an offensive flux to help the new OC build a brand-new roster in 2025. Raiola, being the beating heart of the Huskers, has quite been aware of the situation, and if you think his job is only limited to scoring touchdowns, you might be wrong, dear. He’s going beyond his on-field duties in Lincoln.

Breaking down the current ba-l game, NFL vet Adam Carriker noted, ”If you’re Matt Rhule, you have to go from about 150 players to 105 that in itself is going to make the most insane college football off-season of all time but Dylan Raiola just followed Dane Key who was one of Kentucky s top two wide receivers and also going to enter the transfer portal from Kentucky. Dylan Raiola just followed him, and he’s doing on X. He’s doing everything he can to help Nebraska football.”

Dane Key amassed a total of 126 receptions for 1,870 yards and 14 touchdowns. He earned a No. 45 wide receiver rank in the entire nation and the No. 1 prospect in Kentucky. Wednesday night, the phenom announced his bombastic decision to move away from the Wildcats after three seasons.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Dylan Raiola the key to Nebraska's resurgence, or just another fleeting hope for the Huskers?

Have an interesting take?

His addition to the roster will definitely add a flair to the team, but wait, Key is not the only one the Huskers are taking a shot at. After Emmet Johnson’s heartbreaking announcement, insiders spilled that Rhule and Raiola look to cover it up by luring Ahmad Hardy, the star running back of the Monroe Warhawks. The Huskers need more depth in the QB position for the upcoming season, but Raiola remains the main needle mover. He is leading the team to an unprecedented idyllic.

If you look back at the Huskers’ statement win against the UTEP on August 31, you might have remembered Johnson’s epic rushing records. The running back posted 71 yards and manhandled the defense to some extent. But in a post-game interview, the athlete took zero credit and gave it all to Raiola. Dylan Raiola, of course, did his part as the main QB in action. But he did a lot more than we have seen on the gridiron.

Johnson explained how he minutely constructed the whole play, micro-managed the defense, and switched up the play several times to chisel out the best. His partner on the field also gave him the flower to play ahead of his age. His confidence is infectious and inspires each player of the team to excel in their role on a given day.

‘It gives the offense a lot of confidence because Dylan is a freshman, but he is mature. (He) approaches everything like a pro. It’s great to have somebody like that in the backfield with me.’‘ Johnson praised the Texas native like anything.

Now as Johnson left for the transfer portal, we might not see the quintessential pairing of the duo, but Raiola looks to keep his helping line strong through the recruitment aid.
