Dylan Raiola, the consensus No. 1 recruit for 2024, plans to play his senior season at Buford to be closer to the University of Georgia, where he is committed to play.

Raiola played his junior season in Arizona and led Chandler High to a 9-3 record and a state semifinal while passing for 2,435 yards and 22 touchdowns. Raiola transferred later in his junior season to another Arizona school, Pinnacle, but there was the possibility he’d have to sit out games there this fall because of Arizona’s transfer rules.

Raiola’s father, former NFL player Dominic Raiola, told the Arizona Republic that this was another factor in the Georgia move.

“Biggest thing is missing games,” Dominic Raiola told the newspaper. “We talked to [Pinnacle coach Dana] Zupke, and, with his experience with the AIA, he is in full support of Dylan being free and clear to play a full senior season.”

Dominic Raiola, a close friend and former teammate of former Georgia quarterback Matt Stafford, said his son enrolled at Buford on Wednesday. Raiola was seen Tuesday at Georgia watching a 7-on-7 tournament.

Raiola’s transfer will give Buford three of the nation’s 32 consensus five-star recruits, the most of any high school. Defensive back K.J. Bolden and defensive lineman Eddrick Houston are top-20 national recruits. Buford would be the first Georgia school in history with three senior five-star players on its roster.

Buford is Georgia’s most successful program this century with 13 state titles, though most of those were won in lower classifications. Increasing enrollment and new GHSA rules regarding out-of-zone students moved the Wolves into the highest class for the first time last season.

They finished 11-1 after spending most of the season ranked No. 1 in Class 7A. Buford’s 2022 quarterback, Dylan Wittke, graduated after signing with West Virginia.

Though it has fielded other major Division I quarterbacks over the years, Buford typically is a run-oriented team. The most recent AJC first-team all-state quarterback was Kyle Manley in 2003.

To be eligible this season, Raiola must move into the Buford attendance zone with his full family unit. Raiola’s younger brother, Dayton, also is a sophomore quarterback who played on Chandler’s JV team last season.

The most recent high-profile out-of-state transfer into Georgia was declared ineligible after one game in 2020 for failing to meet the GHSA’s bona-fide move requirements.

Jake Garcia, now a Missouri sophomore, came from California in 2020 and played briefly at Valdosta before it was discovered that one parent had stayed behind. Garcia transferred again that season to Grayson and led that program to a state title, causing the GHSA to amend its bylaws to prevent ineligible players from gaining immediate eligibility elsewhere.

Buford will open the season Aug. 18 against St. Frances Academy at home in a game between teams almost certain to start the season with top-10 national rankings.

Dylan Raiola, 247Sports' No. 1 player in the 2024 college football recruiting class and a Georgia commit since May 15, is set to enter the Peach State a year early. The blue-chipper tells 247Sports that he'll play his senior season at Buford (Ga.) High, where he will join forces with two other five-stars in safety KJ Bolden and defensive lineman Eddrick Houston.

Raiola, who played his junior season at Chandler (Ariz.) High, originally planned to suit up at nearby Phoenix Pinnacle for his final prep campaign but was facing a five-game suspension by the Arizona Interscholastic Association because of its transfer policy. The ruling would not have come until a week before the first game of the season.

"After meeting with Pinnacle's leadership and specifically their head coach, he didn't have much confidence in Dylan not having to sit any games and Dylan wants to play a full senior season," Raiola’s father Dominic told 247Sports. "When he committed to Georgia, that allowed us to be closer to where he's going to spend the next four years of his life and enroll and be free and clear to play the whole season and compete."

Raiola was a standout performer at this past week's Elite 11 Finals.

"The nation's No. 1-ranked prospect might not have finished at the top of our list, but he still lived up to the hype," wrote 247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins. "No one had a better deep ball than Raiola, who understands how to use touch and trajectory like a pro. Raiola came out firing Friday, engineering four consecutive scoring drives. He could take the two-time defending national champion’s offense to a different level."

"There's a sizable gap in terms of NFL traits between Dylan Raiola and whoever's next," added 247Sports national recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna, via the 247Sports Football Recruiting Podcast. "I firmly believe that after seeing him compete with 19 of the nation's best quarterbacks.

As a junior for Chandler, Raiola completed 64% of his passes for 2,435 yards and 22 touchdowns to just five interceptions. While previously playing for former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna at Burleson (Texas) High, Raiola was good on over 65% of his attempts for 3,341 yards and 32 touchdowns to only five interceptions.

The jewel of Georgia’s top-ranked recruiting class, Raiola's interaction with the Bulldogs has continued to pick up since the commitment. Now he'll be just an hour away from campus.

"It's been great being able to really get in-depth with (head) coach (Kirby)Smart and his program and also recruiting the 2024 class thats been pretty cool, and just to recruit for a staff like coach Smart is pretty special," Raiola told 247Sports last week, adding he has a big list of targets he's working on.

"KJ Bolden, Nate Frazier — dang, there’s a lot of guys. Carter Nelson, Jeremiah Smith, trying to get Jeremiah to come join the Bulldogs. The list goes on. That's just some of the guys on my list.

"I just tell them the coaches are authentic. What you see is what you're going to get and ask all the questions you need because the coaches are going to be honest with you. There is no better game-day atmosphere than Athens, Georgia on a Saturday."

Raiola's brother Dayton Raiola has also transferred to Buford.

Georgia fans won’t have to wait too long to see Dylan Raiola take the field in Georgia. The 5-star Georgia quarterback commit will spend his senior high school season playing for Buford High School in Buford, Ga.

Raiola is the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting cycle. And he will now play for perhaps the top high school team in the nation.

5-star QB commit Dylan Raiola is on his way to Georgia six months earlier than expected

There are now 10 Buford players that have a Georgia offer, including two 5-star prospects in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Raiola will now compete in practice against KJ Bolden and Eddrick Houston. Georgia holds a commitment from 2025 Buford linebacker Jaden Perlotte.

Bolden was previously the highest-ranked player in the state, as the 247Sports Composite rankings have him as the No. 7 overall prospect in the country. The future safety is also perhaps Georgia’s top remaining target in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Georgia and Ohio State are vying for his commitment.

The state of Georgia features 27 players who rank among the top 200 overall prospects in the 2024 cycle. Georgia holds commitments now from five of them.

Transferring to Buford will undoubtedly make it easier for Raiola to be a presence around Georgia this fall. He’s already been one of the most vocal recruiters for Georgia in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Playing on Friday night in Buford should make it much easier for him to be at Georgia’s games on Saturday during the season.

After transferring from Arizona, Raiola will now play in one of the top high school football states in the country. Buford also plays a national schedule, including a game against Maryland powerhouse St. Frances Academy to open the 2023 season.

The news of Raiola’s transfer sent shockwaves throughout not just the high school landscape but the college football one as well. The DawgNation team of Connor Riley, Jeff Sentell and Brandon Adams discuss the ramifications for not just Raiola but Georgia as well.

Buford (Ga.) was already loaded with talent heading into the 2023 high school football season and just added the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2024 in Dylan Raiola. The five-star quarterback has already enrolled at his new high school according to Rusty Mansell of On3.

Raiola played his junior season at Chandler (Ariz.), throwing for 2,435 yards and 22 touchdowns. He transferred to Pinnacle (Phoenix) in February but was facing a possible five-game suspension by the Arizona Interscholastic Association because of its transfer policy.
