The star QB also spoke about his bond with USC head coach Lincoln Riley saying: “I feel like our relationship, just in those five hours, shot through the roof and we clicked even more.”
In addition to USC, Raiola’s other top schools include Georgia, Nebraska and Oregon. He de-committed from Ohio State in December. Last week, Raiola visited Nebraska.
As a junior at Chandler High School in Arizona, Raiola completed 64% of his passes for 2,435 yards and 22 touchdowns last season. He led Chandler to the Arizona (AIA) Open Division semifinals where the Wolves were blanked by Basha 13-0.
Raiola has transferred to Pinnacle High School (Phoenix) for his senior season.
On a January episode of the College Football Recruiting Show, 247Sports.com analyst Blair Angulo broke down Raiola’s top schools, which included a clip of Raiola talking about USC where he raved about the program some more.
“Knowing Lincoln Riley, his track record speaks for itself,” he said. “Obviously all of the Heisman guys, he’s won three of them. It’s crazy. The offense he runs, he develops people and just how he gets playmakers the ball, from a quarterback and play calling standpoint, it’s definitely cool to see.”
