Fantastic News, as Nebraska New five-star QB Signs his first NIL deal and Has officially made it known that…

Being rated as a five-star prospect and the top quarterback in the 2024 class by 247Sports, Dylan Raiola must have thrilled the Nebraska Cornhuskers immensely.

Raiola is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after recruits, but the five-star prospect’s long-standing Georgia Bulldogs commitment must have made Raiola’s recruiting all the more appealing to Matt Rhule and his staff. Raiola abruptly switched to Nebraska, the home state of his father, Dominic Raiola, a player.

Another deal between the young quarterback and a historical powerhouse has been reached now that the early signing period has ended.

Raiola has formally inked his first NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) contract with the prestigious trading card business Panini America.

Always dreamt of what it would be like to have my own trading card… Excited to announce that I've signed my first exclusive NIL deal with @PaniniAmerica! #ratedprospect pic.twitter.com/G6yVzbRDgC

Raiola released a statement saying, “I am really excited to celebrate this next stage of my career by partnering with Panini” (h/t On3). It is a dream to appear on a trading card. Being a member of the Panini team makes me proud.

Raiola joins a number of well-known personalities in the collegiate game, which is a huge thing for any young player.

Along with USC wideout Zachariah Branch, Washington wideout Rome Odunze, Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton, and Texas quarterbacks Arch Manning and Quinn Ewers, Panini has also inked non-exclusive contracts with these players.
Signed trading cards and other promotional items are part of the NIL arrangement.
