Top-100 QB Jaden Rashada arrives at UF today for official visit
Florida Gators football is the No. 1 topic in Good Morning Gators every day — but we cover news, notes and analysis from across the Gators sports world. Join us each morning to get caught up on everything in the world of Florida football, UF recruiting, Gators basketball, Florida baseball and more.
Quarterback Jaden Rashada arrives at Florida on Tuesday for his return trip, this time for an official visit.
Rashada took a two-day trip to Gainesville last month after naming the Gators as one of his seven finalists. First-year coach Billy Napier and analyst Ryan O’Hara are a big reason UF made the cut.
“I believe in Coach Napier and Coach O’Hara and their QB development and getting guys ready for the next level,” Rashada told On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
Following his unofficial visit, Florida became the favorite to land the top-100 overall recruit according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine. UF pushed past Oregon last week and now has a 26.6 percent chance at coming out on top.
