BREAKING: 5-star Georgia football commit Dylan Raiola formally flips to play for Nebraska
This Sentell’s Intel rep is about 5-star QB Dylan Raiola flipping his commitment from Georgia to Nebraska.

Good riddance. Enough of the drama. Why did he and Jones Jr even consider Georgia if they had these strong family ties to other schools? I had to chuckle at Raiola's pic saying "COMMITTED". How many schools has he committed to now?? I wonder if he knows the meaning of the word...
Soooooo glad we have Puglisi, Stockton and Beck…..and we will be just fine without Raiola. Besides, he may flip again before Wednesday 😉
Go Dawgs!!!
Hate to lose a kid of his talent, but dang! The fact that his parents enabled this degree of vacillation is puzzling. If they wanted him “join the family business” they should have just started with that. Still got a stud coming in, in Ryan P, so not worried. This just irks me that he was so invested (supposedly) and did a lot of recruiting, only to leave before he got it off the ground. I hate when people say this kind of thing because it is usually just sour grapes, and disingenuous, but maybe we did actually dodge a bullet there and it’s a good thing he went somewhere else. Maybe he just wanted those $$$
Here's what he told ESPN, the only public interview I've seen from him thus far:

Everybody will try & read too much in to this beyond the fact that another teenager is just being a teenager. To think our universities are committing to pay these kids millions. With Beck, Gunner & quite possibly a better QB in Puglisi, the Dawgs will be fine. I’m just glad he made his mind up now rather than next Dec. Go Dawgs
Glad the drama about this fickle kid is over and done. How he came to Athens and said and did all the right things meant nothing. Carson coming back is better.
I guess he just ain't ready to play BIG BOY football....enjoy the Junior League Dylan.
And in the expanded, divisionless Big 10, he’ll never win anything that matters. There are far too many big powers to win much. But whatever, do what you want kid.
I definitely agree that it's better to have never had him, than to have him up and want to transfer a year from now before we ever got to see what he could do. Because if he had done that, he would have run off other potential QB candidates in the 2025 and 2026 classes who would have been thinking, "I've got to deal with both him AND Puglisi? No thanks. I'll look elsewhere." Now we're free. I will NOT be one of those who declares that Puglisi is better than Raiola, however, just because Raiola spurned us. There's a reason why they were ranked the way they were. But I believe that we aren't stepping down that much with Puglisi, if at all, and if we get other talented players around him, he should be just fine. But Puglisi is guaranteed to get the biggest cheer of all at the G-Day game next year. lol
So, wished he wanted to come to Georgia, but he’s probably better off at Nebraska. And, there really is no difference in him coming for one year (or two), and then transferring, and flipping before he ever comes. Can’t be too upset, colleges also move on from players. The rules are the same.
Saw this coming from a mile away. Had commitment issues in high school and now college (Ohio State, UGA, Nebraska). Not a big deal. We have plenty of QB talent. Maybe Kirby can get Nebraska on our schedule for 2025. Let’s go Dawgs!!!
He went to 4 high schools all I can say is BYE
Feel a little bad for him. Seems like the parents are “handling” him as a business. Too bad.
I’m happy we can finally draw a line under this Raiola debacle. Sick of hearing about it.
Honestly, glad he did. I certainly wouldn’t want a teammate like this after all of this, no matter how talented.
What was it, 3 or 4 HS and now a 3rd college??
Dawgs are better off without him imo.
