Florida’s football program is under NCAA investigation due to potential violations committed during Jaden Rashada’s recruitment, according to a report.

That’s per ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, who notes that Rashada was previously committed to Florida after agreeing to a NIL deal with The Gator Collective that was reportedly worth $13 million over 4 years. Rashada signed with the Gators in December of 2022, but ended up requesting a release from his letter of intent. Rashada later enrolled at Arizona State and played for the Sun Devils during his freshman season.

Per ESPN’s report, Rashada asked for his release from Florida after The Gator Collective was not able to uphold the terms of the NIL deal. The collective, which was not officially affiliated with the university, has since been shut down.

News of the investigation was first reported by the Tampa Bay Times on Friday afternoon. Per the Times, Florida president Ben Sasse received a notice of inquiry from the NCAA back on June 9.

Florida says it is cooperating with the investigation. Here’s a statement from a Florida spokesperson provided to the Times on Friday:

“We have been and will continue to cooperate with the NCAA,” Florida spokesman Steve McClain said in a statement. “We hold ourselves to high standards of excellence and integrity on and off the field. Because we follow NCAA policies about maintaining confidentiality, we are unable to offer additional comments.”

Rashada was a 4-star prospect and the No. 7 quarterback in the country for the class of 2023, per 247Sports Composite rankings.

The NCAA has been ramping up enforcement on NIL-related violations in recent months. Florida State was recently sanctioned for NIL-related violations after the NCAA found an assistant coach “facilitated an impermissible recruiting contact between a transfer prospect and a booster.” The coach, current offensive coordinator Alex Atkins, has been suspended 3 games for the violation.

There is no known timetable for the conclusion of the NCAA’s investigation into Rashada’s recruitment.
