Everyone had the same observation and resulting joke after finding out Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has a younger brother.
Said sibling is in the news this week, having committed to the Cornhuskers himself, and is expected to be part of the program’s 2026 recruitment class.
Dayton Railoa announced his commitment on Sunday night. He replaced his older brother as the starting QB at Georgia’s Buford High School following his departure for college and has led them to four wins from their first five outings.
Dayton’s commitment makes him the newest Raiola to be associated with the Huskers.
The boys’ father, Dominic Raiola, played for the school from 1997-2000 before going on to spend 14 years with the Detroit Lions in the NFL.
Their uncle, Donovan Raiola, is the current offensive line coach at Nebraska.

Perhaps the most fascinating thing about this is Dayton’s uncanny resemblance to Jackson Mahomes. The observation comes amid widespread talk of Dylan’s similar appearance to Patrick Mahomes, which he’s leaned into by dressing and styling his hair like the Kansas City Chiefs QB.

Dylan Raiola’s Younger Brother Sparks The Jokes Online
Social media had some jokes after fans realized how much Dayton and Jackson look alike.
“We DONT need another Jackson Mahomes 😭,” someone wrote.
“Sucks to be the one like Jackson Mahomes,” another said.
“What kinda sick simulation are we in,” said a third.
“Does he also do things that are legally and morally wrong and the family sweeps under the rug?” a fourth asked.
Well, life can be crazy like that…
But, the way fans see it, it’s okay to look like Jackson Mahomes as long as you don’t act like Jackson Mahomes.
Dylan Raiola’s little brother is already way ahead in that regard, given that he’s a quarterback.
