Dylan Raiola plays quarterback for the University of Oregon. The Buford, Georgia native was born on May 9, 2005. He is a junior, majoring in criminology and criminal justice. Standing at 6'3”, 230 pounds, wearing number 8, Dylan is one of the newest members of the Oregon Ducks offense. He joins the Ducks after transferring from the University of Nebraska.

Dylan started and played in 22 games for the Nebraska Cornhuskers while throwing for 4,819 yards and 31 touchdowns. Despite throwing 17 interceptions, he had a 69.1 percent completion rate, completing 456 out of 660 passes. As a result, he holds the Cornhuskers' record for season completion percentage, earning 72.4 percent in 2025.

Entering the 2026 season, Dylan will be playing a backup role behind established quarterback Dante Moore. This new opportunity gives him the chance to practice humility while earning the trust of his coaches and teammates. He can do this by maintaining a positive attitude and by embracing Colossians 3:23, as displayed in his Instagram bio. Doing so will validate his faith and win the respect of unbelievers (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12).
