Dylan Raiola called Marcus Mariota and Dillon Gabriel before picking No. 8 to wear at Oregon
Raiola wore No. 15 in his two seasons at Nebraska.
Dylan Raiola is not wearing No. 15 at Oregon. The former Nebraska quarterback has switched his number to No.
8 with the Ducks. The two-year starter with the Cornhuskers joined the Ducks after the 2025 season . The man whose mannerisms can look a lot like Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes wore the same number Mahomes wears in the NFL at Nebraska.
Now, he’s wearing the same number as two famous Oregon QBs. Raiola said he spent nearly 10 years of his life in Hawaii and as he was debating wearing No. 8, he called two Hawaiians who have been starters for the Ducks.
