Five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola has helped lead Chandler High School (Chandler, Arizona) to a 3-0 record to start the year, as the Wolves have outscored their opponents by a combined score of 148-7. Chandler has recently recorded back-to-back shutouts, most recently in a 35-0 win over Notre Dame Prep on Thursday evening. In that game, Raiola threw what seemed like an impossible touchdown to convert, evading several defenders and throwing a dime on the run. As this play progresses, there seems no plausible way it will result in six points. But then it does.

Through three games, Raiola has completed 42 of 61 of his passes for a 68.5 percent completion rate, throwing for 649 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 15.45 yards per completion and 10.63 yards per throw. He’s also recorded seven carries for 18 yards and a rushing touchdown.

“He’s able to create, but he’s able to do that with his football IQ,” Chandler coach Rick Garretson told Eleven Warriors of Raiola in May. “His football IQ is way beyond his years. He works at it. He’s a guy that studies film. It’s like the gym rat theory, right, but on the film side of things. He works at it, and he lives for it. It shows. His film from last year shows the things he can do, and when you combine that skill set with the mental side of things, it’s a recipe for success.

“His leadership skills are just unbelievable. With his knowledge and his football IQ, he understands fronts, he understands secondaries, and he understands coverages. He understands protections that we allow our quarterback to be in control of here. When you have those abilities, his skill set is just an addition to all of that and makes for the ingredients of an outstanding player.”

Raiola attended OSU’s season opener against Notre Dame on Sept. 3 and has been a vocal peer recruiter for Ohio State on social media.

 

The weekend got started on Thursday night as Chandler (Ariz.) and Ohio State 2024 quarterback commitment Dylan Raiola defeated Scottsdale (Ariz.) Notre Dame Prep 35-0. Raiola completed 13 of 18 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown. Chandler’s running game was also outstanding as their running back rushed for 215 yards and four touchdowns.

Chandler (Ariz.) (QB Dylan Raiola - 2024) lost to Chandler (Ariz.) Basha 13-0 to finish the season at 9-3. It rained all day and through the evening soaking the field which made the passing game tougher than usual. The weather and a fierce Basha pass rush that kept Raiola under pressure all game contributed to the shutout.

“We just needed to put pressure on him,” Basha head coach Tim McDonald told the Arizona Republic after the game. “We just knew that we had to get after them. We can't give a kid like that time. He's got an extremely strong arm, he's well versed in the game of football, he's got athletes on the outside. We just needed to attack.”
