Dayton Raiola Decommits From Nebraska, Reopens 2026 Recruitment

The move leaves Nebraska without a 2026 quarterback pledge ahead of the Dec. 3–5 early signing period.

Overview

  • Dayton Raiola, a three-star quarterback from Buford High School and Dylan Raiola’s younger brother, announced his decommitment Wednesday.
  • He had been committed since September 2024 and is ranked No. 76 among pocket passers in ESPN’s 2026 evaluations.
  • ESPN reports Nebraska’s 2026 class holds about nine commitments and has now absorbed four decommitments in this cycle.
  • Nebraska is starting true freshman TJ Lateef after Dylan Raiola’s season-ending broken fibula on Nov. 1, and Lateef went 13-for-15 for 205 yards and three touchdowns in a Nov. 8 win at UCLA.
  • The Huskers retain a 2027 quarterback commitment from Trae Taylor, ESPN’s No. 4 pocket passer in that class.
