Raiola, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound quarterback, previously committed to Ohio State University in May 2022. But he decommitted in just months later in December, and his father, former NFL lineman Dominic Raiola, said he would be thorough before making his decision next time.
Speaking with ESPN, Raiola explained why the Bulldogs were right for him this time around.
"There’s a culture and a standard that I was attracted to," he explained. "The more time that went by, the stronger I felt about Georgia and ultimately led to this decision.
"I learned a lot from my first experience. This time around, I took my time and never felt rushed or pressured to commit. I was able to have conversations with my family, my pastors and mentors. The stability allowed me to be still, be patient and allow God to guide me."
