BUFORD, Ga. — Several Buford High School football players made their choice for college known on Early Signing Day.
Three top prospects -- Dylan Raiola, KJ Bolden, and Eddrick Houston -- shared their decisions on Wednesday. Here's a recap of what happened.
Dylan Raiola commits to Nebraska
The 5-star quarterback verbally committed to UGA, but on Monday, a report by ESPN's Pete Thamel mentioned Dylan Raiola was going to Nebraska. Raiola had been considered one of the very best quarterback recruits in the Class of 2024, ranked the No. 2 overall recruit in the country by Rivals.
And on Wednesday, he publicly announced that Nebraska was the school for him. The Cornhuskers also tweeted the news.
In an interview after the announcement, Raiola said the decision to commit to Nebraska was always "tugging" on his heart and he didn't want to ignore it. His father also went to Nebraska. He said it was one of the hardest decisions he had to make.

But when it came down to it, Georgia was his pick.
He also shared on the X platform that he was "staying home" and "GO DAWGS."
In an interview after he announced his commitment, Bolden said his ultimate goal is to get to the NFL.
"It's not about NIL or facilities for me, it's about relationships and development," he said.

Eddrick Houston commits to Ohio State
