College football camps have begun across the country, including with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who shared some photos of players arriving for work out.
Among them was the Class of 2024's No. 1 quarterback, Dylan Raiola, who is expected to be a starter in his true freshman season for the Cornhuskers.
Raiola is expected to be in the NFL one day, but after watching him arrive at camp, he already looks like one of the biggest stars in the league.

With curly hair, a trimmed goatee and large sunglasses, Raiola bore a striking resemblance to Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Miami Dolphins star receiver Tyreek Hill, whose stardom began in Kansas City with Mahomes as his quarterback, couldn't believe his eyes, as did many others who saw the image of Raiola carrying his bags to campus.
“Boy, no way,” Hill wrote on X with a laughing emoji and tagging Mahomes in the process.

Mahomes responded to Hill and Hill jokingly said, “That's my little cousin.”
For Raiola, the similarities with Mahomes are not limited to physical appearance.
During Nebraska's spring game, Raiola was wearing No. 15, the same number Mahomes wears for the Chiefs. And when you watch the film, his playing style is similar to Mahomes' as well.
Raiola heads to Matt Rhule's Big Ten program with high expectations for a team that finished 5-7 overall and 3-6 in the conference last year.

A five-star recruit out of Buford High School, the 6-foot-3, 220-pound quarterback received offers from all over the country, including his home-state Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and many more.
But Raiola opted for Nebraska, a program that he said always made him feel at home.
“I always believed that Nebraska was in my blood, in my heart, for a long time,” Raiola explained, according to Rivals.com. “I felt like I could be a part of something special, that's bigger than me. Lincoln, Nebraska, is a great place and the University of Nebraska is a special place to have a college experience and play sports with some of the best fans.”
Rhule's relationship with the Raiola family also played a big role in the quarterback's hiring.
“What sets Coach Rhule apart from a lot of people is the way he connects with his players,” Raiola said.

Raiola hopes the next step in his football career will be a positive one, and to do so, he may be able to channel the quarterback who looks exactly like he did before his freshman season.
