Jaden Rashada re-enters transfer portal, reportedly could move to SEC power
Jaden Rashada announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal on Thursday night and could soon be back in the SEC.
Rashada, who originally signed at Florida out of high school, spent his freshman year at Arizona State. He backed off of his pledge to join Florida after a reported NIL deal fell through.

Shortly after that news was made public, 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer reported that Georgia is the “school to watch” for Rashada this spring.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart has not been shy about wanting to add a 4th scholarship quarterback this offseason. The Bulldogs heavily recruited former UNLV passer Jayden Maiava back in the winter, but he ultimately ended up at USC.
Earlier this spring, Smart told reporters he still wanted to add another QB to work alongside Carson Beck, Gunner Stockton and Ryan Puglisi.
“Our goal is to have 4 [scholarship quarterbacks] and a really good walk-on,” Smart said. “That’s the goal.”
Rashada came into college with quite a bit of pedigree. He was the No. 81 overall player and the No. 7 quarterback in the country for the class of 2023, per 247Sports Composite rankings. A California native, he also ranked as the No. 6 player from the Golden State.
However, he struggled as a true freshman at Arizona State last season. In 3 games, he completed 53.7% of his passes for 485 yards, 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He averaged just 5.9 yards per attempt.
It’s unclear where Rashada would fall on Georgia’s depth chart if he does commit to the Bulldogs. Beck is the unquestioned starter and Puglisi is a true freshman who is still getting used to the college game. It’s likely Rashada would be battling with Stockton for the backup QB job in 2024. Stockton, who is entering his 3rd year in Athens, saw the field last season for the first time and completed 12-of-19 passes on the year.
These players departing statements are always so fake. Everybody was great, but I’m out of here. He’s going somewhere as a backup. If it’s UGA, is he better than Stockton? If not, he shouldn’t go there. He needs to go somewhere where they don’t have a definite succession plan.
it’s not about whether he’s better, but whether he believes he’s better. going into fall camp for the 2022 season, brennan was the projected starter at qb and essentially none of the lsu faithful were forecasting daniels to be the starter and many were projecting him to be 3rd string. daniels clearly thought he had a chance.
Brennan was coming off an injury and didn’t play at all in 2021. He only threw 131 passes in 2020. Some fans may have thought he was the guy, but the coaches definitely didn’t as they went hard after Daniels.
Rashada in Athens ? Highly doubltful. He committed to Miami(NIL deal) and shopped the deal at Florida(NIL) & that deal came apart.
Now Arizona State ? He is too wishy-washy for Kirby to even consider.
i get that smart has stated that he’d like to pick up a qb, but any interest to rashada seems more like a flex to uf than anything else.
Stupid decision if you ask me. Someone is still going to end up transferring out of that room…whether it is still Rashada, Stockton, or Puglisi.
You’ve got to break a few eggs to make a good omelet.
In the age of the portal and NIL I’m guessing the modus operandi is get as many QB’s in the room as possible and let competition run its course. Hopefully the one, or two, that stay with the program are the cream
Excluding Rashada I’d be surprised if both Stockton and Puglisi are both still playing for UGA in 2026.
I’d be surprised to see Rashada land at UGA
The dude is a prima donna, a princess – he’s about as stable a clean pair of depends on Uncle Joe.
Backed out of his commitment to UF over a few shekels and now he’s leaving ASU.
We saw what happened with Jamie Newman when Kirby wouldn’t promise him the starting job and he wasn’t the best QB in the room. I can’t image Kirby and Bobo wanting to go down that road, nor Rashada wanting to go to a program where he’ll have to grind with no promise of starting.
$13 million in NIL money is too much for anyone straight outta high achool. Possible that UF dodged a bullet when that NIL deal fell through.
In Kirby I trust and all that stuff but personally I get bad vibes from Rashada.
No thanks. Go somewhere else with your drama.
