Dylan Raiola is one of the biggest freshman stars in college football this season. On Wednesday, Raiola turned up at the Nebraska Cornhuskers' fall camp looking like one of the NFL's biggest stars.

In a picture uploaded to the Nebraska Cornhuskers social media account, Dylan Raiola looks very much like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. This likeness has led some of Mahomes' Chiefs teammates and former teammates to react.

One of these reactions came from Tyreek Hill, who posted this on social media:

boy ain’t no way 😂 @PatrickMahomes

Dylan Raiola's commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers may be one of the biggest steals in recent history.

Raiola was originally committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes, and this seemed to be set. That was until he decommitted from the Buckeyes. This choice led many of the larger programs to vie for Raiola's talents.

The race was initially won by the Georgia Bulldogs, but Raiola would quickly de-commit from their program as well. A couple of days later, he announced that he would play with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. His appearance at the Fall Camp has made this even more of a reality for Cornhuskers fans.

Husker fans can only hope that Raiola can play like his apparent doppelganger Patrick Mahomes. If he does, Nebraska, who has been struggling for a while, especially at the quarterback position, may potentially become a Big Ten force again.

Matt Rhule talks about Dylan Raiola and the quarterback situation at Nebraska

Another person who will benefit from any Dylan Raiola success will be Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach, Matt Rhule, who is likely fighting for his job this season.

Rhule made some comments about Raiola during an edition of The Pat McAfee Show last week, in which he said this:

"Well, you know what I'll say is that Dylan (Raiola) has done everything right since he's been there, you truly believe that you eat what you kill...like Dylan he's competing with a guy last year that went 5-3 as a starting quarterback that runs 4.5 that got thrust into action last year and now he's had another year. So my job is to get as many good guys as possible."

Raiola is expected to start for the Cornhuskers in week one. However, Matt Rhule saying he wants "as many good guys as possible" at the position may cause an unlikely quarterback battle or a delay in Raiola's debut.

Rhule further suggested Raiola may not be the immediate starter later in the McAfee interview, where he said:

"You know we signed Daniel Kaelin who's another Elite 11 quarterback so I want those guys to compete. I want to find out honestly at every position...I want to find out who when they don't feel good in the middle of camp still shows up. I want to find out who when they get sent down to get the three reps that day who pouts and who goes and competes. I know our three guys are going to do that but what I'll say about Dylan is since he's been there he's done everything right"

Whatever happens, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have a generational talent that can revive what has been a poor offense in the last few years. Questions should now be raised on whether Matt Rhule thinks this as well.
