As the summer approaches, college football’s top prospects will be in high demand. Those players are expected to sign in the early signing period and have seven months before deciding to sign their national letters of intent.
At the top of any recruiting class will be the quarterbacks. The top name last year was Arch Manning, and this year it’s Dylan Raiola. Both come from NFL bloodlines, but unlike his father, Dylan doesn’t play the same position.
Raiola and Elijah Brown are still undecided as far as the pledge is concerned. Raiola left Ohio State last December.
We check out the top quarterbacks in the 2024 class where they have shown promise.

Dylan Raiola, Pinnacle (Phoenix, AZ)
The nation’s No. 1 prospect @RaiolaDylan i will visit #GoDawgs this weekend. There is no denying the impact he would have at UGA.

The No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 class was previously committed to Ohio State before reopening his recruitment. The Georgia Bulldogs appear to be the favorite to land him with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Oregon Ducks and USC Trojans in hot pursuit. His father, Dominique, was an All-American center at Nebraska and spent 14 years in the NFL.
