Raiola Brothers Reunite on Oregon Ducks' Roster
1 Apr
Summary
- Dayton Raiola will wear No. 81 for the Oregon Ducks as a freshman tight end.
- His older brother, quarterback Dylan Raiola, transferred to Oregon after an injury at Nebraska.
- The Raiola brothers, Dylan and Dayton, are now playing together in Eugene for the Ducks.
Freshman tight end Dayton Raiola will wear No. 81 for the Oregon Ducks this spring. Raiola, a three-star recruit from Buford, Georgia, previously committed to Nebraska but followed his brother to Eugene. His uncle, Donovan Raiola, was an offensive line coach for the Cornhuskers before his dismissal.
Quarterback Dylan Raiola, Dayton's older brother, transferred to Oregon after playing for Nebraska. Dylan, a former five-star recruit, suffered a season-ending broken fibula in November 2025, which cut short his sophomore season. He joins the Ducks roster, currently wearing No. 8, a number historically worn by notable Oregon quarterbacks.
With Dante Moore returning as Oregon's starting quarterback for the 2026 season, Dylan Raiola is expected to focus on recovering from his injury and learning the team's offensive system. This strategy positions him to potentially take over as the starter in a future season after Moore departs for the NFL.
