Dylan Raiola has the tools to be Ohio State’s next great quarterback with one of the most impressive arms in the 2024 class.
Now that he has given his pledge to the Buckeyes, he immediately becomes a top candidate to become one of Ohio State’s next star quarterbacks.It’s no secret football runs in Raiola’s blood. His father, Dominic, was an All-American center for Nebraska from 1998 to 2000, then carved out a 14-year NFL career with the Detroit Lions. Having that institutional knowledge from his family likely arms Raiola with more knowledge of the game than your typical teenager.
In his sophomore year, Raiola played for Burleson High School before eventually transferring to Chandler High School in the offseason. Raiola emerged as one of the top prospects in the country last season when he completing 220 of 336 passes for 3,243 yards and 32 touchdowns. While he’s not what you’d describe as a burner, Raiola was useful at times in the ground game, having 53 carries for 97 yards and scoring nine rushing touchdowns in large part because of his big frame at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds.
Raiola played in a spread offense at Burleson, though he sometimes lined up under center. The offense made sure to take advantage of its quarterback's rocket of an arm. Raiola went deep early and often for Burleson, making a plethora of impressive throws on tape. Regardless of whether the vertical attacks come from a four-wide set or if they came out of play action on a two-receiver play, Raiola shows he can hit his receivers in stride and make it look easy to air out a football.
Raiola’s pocket presence is smooth and calming, as he has an acute sense of pressure and rarely makes frantic or ill-advised throws. There doesn’t appear to be a throw Raiola is incapable of making with his quick release, as he can hit receivers on throws across his body or while under pressure on the run. When he does face pressure, Raiola is impressive with his ability to still keep his eyes downfield and complete a throw in stride.
