In a potential game-changer for Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class, five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola has reportedly expressed openness to joining the Crimson Tide, according to sources close to the recruitment process. The Nebraska native, who originally committed to Georgia before flipping to Nebraska, is now rumored to be reevaluating his future—with Alabama emerging as a serious contender.

Raiola, widely regarded as one of the most dynamic quarterback talents in the nation, has drawn significant interest from several top-tier programs, including USC, Oregon, and Texas. However, recent developments suggest Alabama’s coaching staff has re-engaged with the elite signal-caller, offering a compelling pitch centered around immediate playing opportunities, a pro-style offensive system, and a strong NIL infrastructure.

If Raiola does make the move, it could trigger a domino effect across the SEC and reshape the landscape of the 2025 recruiting cycle. Alabama, already building momentum with a string of blue-chip commitments, would gain a cornerstone leader for its future offense.

With National Signing Day still months away, Raiola’s decision remains fluid, but the Tide’s late push is turning heads—and may yet yield one of the biggest flips of the year.
