Dylan Raiola made a name for himself as one of the nation’s handful of five-star recruits coming out of high school. He further attracted attention after turning down the Georgia Bulldogs to play for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Yet Raiola became a household for a very different reason. He has a striking resemblance to 3x Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes. From his way of picking out the drip to wearing sunglasses and even walking posture, he appears very similar to the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.
Not only that, the 19-year-old even goes through the same pre-game rituals as Mahomes as he showed before playing against the Northern Iowa Panthers on Saturday.
He ran toward the section of the fans full of Huskers and jumped vertically, shouting at the top of his voice to rally them. Football fans have seen the same routine many times in the NFL during the Chiefs’ game day.

Antonio Brown, who was famous for his demeanor when he played in the NFL, claimed Raiola mimicking Mahomes is getting out of hand. Brown compared it with Mahomes’ younger brother Jackson, who takes more after their father, Pat Mahomes. Both are infamous for their frequent run-ins with the law.

Jackson allegedly tried to force himself onto the proprietor of a Kansas City restaurant and spent time in jail. After the police released him, the former TikTok star distanced himself from the public eye.
Pat Mahomes, on the other hand, found himself in prison for drunk driving a couple of times. Mahomes Sr. back in the day played for the Texas Rangers and New York Mets in Major League Baseball.
As for Dylan Raiola, he is the son of former Detroit Lions center Dominic Riola and the nephew of Cornhuskers offensive line coach Donovan Raiola. He is also the godchild of Dominic’s former teammate and current Los Angeles Rams quarterback, Matthew Stafford.
Dylan Raiola keeps Nebraska’s unbeaten start to the season alive
The Huskers were the overwhelming favorites to beat the Panthers even before a pass was thrown at the Lincoln Memorial Stadium. Raiola proved the prediction right by completing 17/23 (73.1% completion rate) for 247 yards, 2 touchdowns, and his first interceptions in college football.
The best receiver on the day for Nebraska was Isaiah Neyor, who caught 2 passes for 35 yards and 1 touchdown.
It’s time the season starts. It’s time for the games to begin. You know, you treat those three games as real games, but you find out your real identity before you get into these conference games, [which] means everything, so… I know our team has been excited, and it’s finally here. We are ready to get back in tomorrow and ready for Illinois.Dylan Raiola said after the win over North Iowa

Dylan Raiola said these last three games have been about the #Huskers finding their identity. Now the real season begins in Friday's Big Ten opener—and a potential Top 25 matchup—versus Illinois.@WOWT6News #GBR pic.twitter.com/oS8Dzjd97a
As Raiola said, Nebraska will play the Illinois Fighting Illini next week at home before hitting the road to face Purdue.
