Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Full court press on Dylan Raiola, Juwan Gary out indefinitely, more

The Nebraska Cornhuskers football team’s coaching staff isn’t messing around when it comes to trying to land Dylan Raiola. That’s probably a good thing considering that one of the schools the top 2024 prospect is said to be considering is the Georgia Bulldogs.

On Friday, Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule headed to Chandler Arizona. It was no secret that he was going there to see Raiola.

Rhule even took his offensive line coach, Donovan Raiola. The pair were doing some full court pressing to try and get the 2024 quarterback to finally pull the trigger for the Huskers.

The good news, for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans is that it looked like the approach worked. At the very least it appears they were able to get their foot back in the door. While reeling in Dylan Raiola is not going to be easy, it appears that things went well on Rhule’s visit.

You might notice that Dylan’s sister, Taylor, in particular seems to have an idea on where she’d like to see her brother play in 2024.

The Huskers lost on Friday night to the Purdue Boilermakers but before the game even tipped off, it was made clear that Gary is lost for at least a few games. After the contest, it was made clear that there’s a chance he won’t be back this year after suffering a shoulder injury against Illinois.

While the Huskers are looking to add players, they’re losing a few here and there. The latest is kicker Chase Contreraz who announced on Friday that he’ll be transferring. He entered the portal after rumblings that would be the move.
