In 2022, Raiola threw for 2,435 yards and 22 touchdowns while completing 64% of his passes. Away from football, Raiola is strong in his faith in Jesus Christ. “Without God, I wouldn’t be able to do anything I do now,” he said. His mother, Yvonne Raiola, played water polo at the University of Hawaii, Manoa along with three other aunts and uncles who played collegiate athletics. His sister, Taylor Raiola, plays volleyball at TCU.
