On Monday, Raiola announced a new Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) partnership with Takis via an Instagram video, captioned, "#takispartner Reminiscing with @takisusa."
"Football has always lit a fire inside of me that intensifies every time I step onto the field, and with my Takis Fuego Chips, I don't hold back," Raiola said. "And there was a day that fire was first lit. That first day I fell in love with the game, I was about 10 years old, but my all-time favorite memory was my first Husker Tunnel Walk. When I walked into the stadium, the energy, the passion, the love, all the fans, all my family, everyone in attendance. It was a moment I'll never forget, and I'll keep cherishing that moment for the rest of my life. I get to live out my passion every time I step onto the field, and with these Takis, I'll never forget my intensity."

Takis isn't the first brand he has partnered with either. He also has deals with Adidas, Campus Ink, EA Sports and Panini America.
This newest partnership with Takis represents the sophomore quarterback's growing reputation among Nebraska fans and college football fans.
