Coming into the 2024 season, Dylan Raiola was the most hyped quarterback in his class.
Not all of the hype was due to his ability on the field, as he had previously decommitted from Georgia, flipping to Nebraska due to his father previously playing center for the Cornhuskers. Raiola also made headlines by copying the appearance of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Despite all the off-the-field headlines, Raiola is still one of the best sophomore QBs in college football, but he doesn’t seem to be getting much hype. DJ Lagway is seen as a consensus top-10 QB in college football, yet Raiola looked just as good his freshman year.
Player 1: 1,915 yards, 12 TDs, 59.9 completion %, 9 INTs
Player 2: 2,819 yards, 13 TDs, 67.1 completion %, 11 INTs
Player 2 is Raiola.
If you had been reading the preseason previews, you’d have no idea Raiola put up what could be seen as a better freshman season. He also didn’t have nearly as many weapons as Lagway.
This could be a breakout year for Dylan Raiola. With a full offseason of Dana Holgorsen working as the Cornhuskers’ offensive coordinator, he may fully unlock Raiola’s upside.
Secondly, Nebraska has a pretty favorable Big Ten schedule, all things considered. Their three toughest tests will be Michigan — which has a million question marks — Penn State, which will be quite the challenge, and Iowa, which probably still won’t have much of an offense. They have a lot of winnable games, and it’s easy to envision Nebraska winning 9–10 games this year.
Most importantly, they really improved at receiver, which should be a jolt for their offense. Transfers Dane Key and Nyziah Hunter are two of the most talented players Raiola has thrown to in his collegiate career. Jacory Barney is returning as well, and he led the Cornhuskers in catches last season.
Also, three of the five starters on the offensive line will be returning, so Raiola will at least have some continuity up front. If Nebraska can figure out something in the run game, it could be a surprise playoff contender this year.
Oddsmakers are already seeing some potential with Nebraska, as the team is +900 to make the playoffs. However, Raiola is +7000 to win the Heisman this year. If he can sneak Nebraska into the playoffs and stack some gaudy stats against a weak schedule, it’s not impossible to see him on stage this December in New York City when the Heisman is presented.

Pogacar gegen Vingegaard – Das größte Duell der Tour-Geschichte
Schon bei der Teampräsentation in Lille zwei Tage vor dem Tour-Start wurde deutlich, wie unterschiedlich die beiden Favoriten ticken. Tadej Pogacar (26) fuhr mit einem Schlapphut in den Tour-Farben Gelb, Grün und Rot-Weiß auf das Podium, kurz danach warf er ihn in die Menge. Dann sprach der Slowene auf Französisch zu den Fans und rief: „Merci Lille! Vive la France! Vive le Tour!“ Wie ein Pop-Star spielte er mit dem Publikum. Ganz anders Jonas Vingegaard (28). Der Däne wirkte bei den Fragen des Interviewers eher peinlich berührt und winkte schüchtern in die Menge, als einige Fans seinen Namen riefen.Bei Deutschlands Halbfinal-Einzug : Unfassbare Monster-Parade beim Beach-Handball<!-->[-->Quelle: DYN15.07.2025Es ist das große Duell auch dieser Tour: Pogacar gegen Vingegaard.
