Ohio State's Top-Ranked Football Recruit, Dylan Raiola

Columbus, Ohio -

Buckeye fans are ecstatic as their highly-touted and No. 1 ranked football recruit, Dylan Raiola, has finally committed to Ohio State University. Raiola, a five-star quarterback from Burleson, Texas, is considered one of the best prospects in the country and is expected to make an immediate impact on the Buckeyes' offense.

Raiola is a 6-foot-3, 230-pound pro-style quarterback with a strong arm and excellent accuracy. He is also a very good athlete and can make plays with his feet. Raiola led Burleson to a 12-2 record and a state championship game appearance in his senior season.

Raiola's Commitment to Ohio State

Raiola committed to Ohio State over offers from Alabama, Georgia, and Texas. He said that he chose Ohio State because of the school's tradition, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to compete for a national championship.

"I'm so excited to be a part of the Ohio State family," Raiola said. "I can't wait to get to Columbus and start working with my new teammates and coaches."

Raiola's Impact on Ohio State

Raiola is expected to compete for the starting quarterback job at Ohio State right away. He will be battling with redshirt sophomore Kyle McCord and true freshman Devin Brown for the starting role.

If Raiola wins the starting job, he will be the first true freshman quarterback to start for Ohio State since Dwayne Haskins in 2018. Raiola has the talent and potential to be a special player for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State is hoping that Raiola can lead them back to the College Football Playoff and win the school's first national championship since 2014.
