Arizona State transfer QB Jaden Rashada to visit Georgia, considering Auburn, Mississippi State

Arizona State transfer quarterback Jaden Rashada is set to take a visit to Georgia at the end of the month, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Rashada will reportedly be on campus on April 30 and May 1.

Rashada is also considering visits to a pair of other SEC schools: Auburn and Mississippi State. He was at one point signed with Florida as a recruit, which ended infamously.

He appeared in two games in his 2023 season with the Sun Devils, throwing for 407 yards and three touchdowns while completing 57 percent of his passes. Rashada has been out for most of the spring due to thumb surgery for a non-football related injury.

Rashada played high school football at Pittsburg (Calif.) High School, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 73 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Rashada remains a key character in an infamous NIL case

More details began to emerge in March on the NCAA’s reported investigation into Florida. The inquiry centers on the Gators’ recruitment of Rashada, according to The Action Network’s Brett McMurphy.

Rashada initially committed to Miami, but signed with the Gators during the 2023 recruiting cycle. He was granted his release from his National Letter of Intent and later signed with Arizona State, where he played as a freshman in 2023.

In mid-March, Tampa Bay Times initially reported UF received a notice of inquiry in June, but it didn’t include specifics.

Rashada’s recruitment took a few turns, On3 reported at the time. He said his plans were to arrive on campus in January 2023 with the early enrollees, but he ended up missing the add/drop period. Florida then granted his request for his release from his NLI, allowing him to eventually sign with Arizona State.

As Rashada went through the recruiting process, NIL played a big role. It was one of the variables when he was deciding on where he’d play college ball. The timing of the Tampa Bay Times report about the investigation into Florida comes about a week after the NCAA announced multiple punishments against Florida State for NIL-related infractions.
