The nation's No. 2 recruit had transferred from Pinnacle (Arizona) to Buford last summer in anticipation of being closer to Athens and the Bulldogs, where he had committed to play his college ball.
Included in Raiola's tweet was a photo of him, with arms out-stretched, at midfield on the turf at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. The image was accompanied by a poem which declared Raiola was "crafting his narrative in the right," and that he was "once lured by Georgia, where powerhouse glory gleamed, Yet Nebraka's purpose in his heart brightly beamed." It went on to state, "No longer a cog in some powerhouse machine, But a quarterback, with an even grander ambition unseen."
