Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola is partnering with a major apparel brand ahead of his sophomore season, joining three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Raiola, a former five-star, signed with the Cornhuskers as the second-highest rated recruit in program history when coming out of Buford, Georgia, in the class of 2024.
Head coach Matt Rhule and Co. leaned on Raiola as a true freshman last season, and the 6-foot-3, 230-pound passer led the program to its first winning season (7-6) since 2016.
Raiola holds a lofty NIL valuation of $2.3 million entering his second season at Nebraska, per On3. His latest partnership was made official on Tuesday after signing a deal with Adidas.
“Heading into my second season, the goal remains the same: help build the next era of Nebraska football and leave a legacy that makes our fans proud,” Raiola said in a statement. “Joining the elite family of athletes at Adidas is a tremendous honor, and their support strengthens the journey as we continue building something special in Lincoln.”

Nebraska is also partnered with Adidas, as is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who signed with the brand in 2017.
Raiola and Mahomes, both wearing No. 15, have been linked in the past dating back to Raiola's high school days. The two were developed by acclaimed quarterback coach Jeff Christensen, and Mahomes has referred to Raiola as "lil cuzzo."
Raiola has also spoken about how he looks up to Mahomes as a quarterback that he tries to model his game after.
On the gridiron, there is plenty for Raiola to improve on next season. He completed 67.1% of his passes for 2,819 yards (7th in Big Ten) with 13 touchdowns (12th) to 11 interceptions (tied last) in 13 games.
The Cornhuskers will kick off the 2025 season on the road against Cincinnati on Aug. 28.
