Former Florida commit, Georgia QB Jaden Rashada commits to Sacramento State

Former Georgia and Arizona State quarterback, and one time Florida commit, Jaden Rashada, committed to Sacramento State, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. He’s now on the third team of his career.

The former Georgia product is well traveled at this point but was a superstar recruit. He initially signed with Florida, before backing out of his pledge and landing at Arizona State. He later transferred to Georgia, before once again hitting the NCAA transfer portal to find another program.

The former four-star prospect was a true freshman in 2023 at Arizona State and was able to take a redshirt after appearing in just three games. He started the first two games of the season for the Sun Devils before suffering an undisclosed injury that caused him to miss the next nine games. He returned to play in the regular-season finale against Arizona.

When the dust settled on Rashada’s freshman season, he had completed 44-of-82 passes (53.7%) for 485 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. He also carried the ball 14 times for 23 yards.

Rashada made news coming out of high school when he requested to be let out of his signed letter of intent to Florida. According to published reports, the Gators were unable to live up to their NIL promises to Rashada, causing him to look around. The California native settled on Arizona State with respected offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham taking over as head coach.

As a prospect Rashada was ranked as the No. 73 overall prospect in the 2023 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average of all four sites that publish recruiting rankings. He was the nation’s No. 6 quarterback and the No. 6 prospect in California.

Rashada will have three years of eligibility remaining at his next destination. North Carolina was also one of a handful of schools vying to be that destination.
