Nebraska football to host 2026 QB Dayton Raiola this weekend

A class of 2026 recruit is heading to Lincoln for a visit this weekend. Quarterback Dayton Raiola, brother of current Husker Dylan Raiola, is coming to Nebraska on July 27.

Dayton received an offer from Nebraska during his freshman year at Chandler High School in Arizona in 2022. He also received offers from Appalachian State and Charlotte in January 2024. Dayton now enters his junior year at Buford High School in Georgia, preparing to play on the varsity level for the first time.

Dayton sat behind his brother through his freshman year at Chandler and his sophomore year at Buford, playing JV in both seasons. Dylan Raiola threw for 2,666 yards, 34 touchdowns, and just one interception.

Dayton appeared in only six varsity games last season at Buford. He finished 6-of-16 passing for 60 yards and one touchdown. The left-handed quarterback currently stands at 6 feet, 1 inch, and 205 pounds entering his junior year.
