Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola named ESPN Freshman Preseason All-American
On Saturday, ESPN’s Tom Luginbill published his preseason freshman All-America team, and Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola was among those named preseason All-Americans. ESPN ranked Raiola the No. 11 player in the country during the 2025 recruiting cycle. Luginbill selected Raiola as the quarterback and notes that it’s rare for a true freshman to be the “definitive starting quarterback” before training camp begins, but that was the case with Raiola. He also notes that he’s the best option for the Huskers in their quarterback room. Luginbill expects plenty of bright spots but also bumps in the road as he plays against Big Ten competition. Raiola signed with the Huskers during the early signing period this past December, flipping his commitment to Nebraska after being committed to Georgia for seven months. He was considered a five-star prospect on three of four primary recruiting services.

Nebraska Countdown to Kickoff: No. 13 Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda
Only 13 days remain untiil Nebraska opens up their 2024 season on August 31 against the UTEP Miners and under the magnifying glass is Huskers wide receiver Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda. The California native enters his third season with the program but is coming off a dissapointing 2023 season in which he was injured in the Huskers season opener against Minnesota and was out for the season. In his first season with the program in 2022, he played in just four games and redshirted. In those four games, he was impressive with five receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown. This fall, Garcia-Castaneda will likely have a rotational role for the Huskers. Don’t expect the former New Mexico State standout to have a big season but he could absolutely carve himself out a nice role if he can be consistent when on the field.
