QB Jaden Rashada delays commitment, announcing June 26

Pittsburg (Calif.) four-star quarterback Jaden Rashada has delayed his college decision by one week and will announce his choice June 26, announcing the news Thursday on social media.

The elite recruit also named his final five of Florida, LSU, Miami, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.

He was set to announce his decision June 18 but told On3 at the OT7 tournament that he would delay the decision if he wasn’t 100% ready to decide.

“I wouldn’t call it struggling, but I’m just being picky,” Rashada said. “I want to make the right decision, but it has been a lot on me. I’m a kid who just loves playing football, and I don’t like much of the hype, the media, what comes with it. But I embrace it, and I do really want to get this recruiting process done.”

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives the Gators a 46.6% chance to land Rashada followed by the Aggies at 18.5% and the Hurricanes at 14.9%.

Rashada is the No. 42 overall prospect and No. 7 quarterback in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $454k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
