The Raiola brothers will take their games of backyard football all the way to Autzen Stadium.
Dayton Raiola — the younger brother of new Oregon backup quarterback Dylan Raiola — announced his commitment to the Ducks on Wednesday.
Dayton is a three-star athlete according to 247Sports and played quarterback in high school, but the 6-1, 205 pound prospect is set to play tight end for the Ducks. He hails from Buford, Georgia, and is rated the No. 128 athlete in the Class of 2026 according to 247Sports’ rankings.
Dylan transferred to Oregon this offseason by way of Nebraska, where he was the starting quarterback for two seasons. He is set to be Dante Moore’s backup in 2026, presumably assuming the starting job in 2027 as a redshirt sophomore. Dylan was a five-star recruit and rated the No. 2 quarterback in the Class of 2024.
Whether in a late-game blowout situation this season or at some point in the 2027 season, the Raiola brothers will now have a chance to connect on the field in college football. Dayton joins a 2026 recruiting class for Oregon that ranks No. 3 in the country by 247Sports’ composite rankings, sitting at 23 commits as of Wednesday afternoon on National Signing Day.
