Jaden Rashada’s College Football Destination Nearly Confirmed Amid Major Update on $13.8M Lawsuit Against Billy Napier’s Florida

2 min read

Jaden Rashada is one of the top QB prospects in the transfer portal currently. With Gunnar Stockton poised to be running the show at Georgia this season, he knew it was time to leave. Once he landed on the market, head coaches like Bill Belichick wasted no time swaying his interest. But it seems like Rashada might be gracing a wildcard yet struggling program. If you thought UConn or Fresno State, you’re wrong by a long shot.

Forgoing formidable programs in CFB, Rashada is predicted to go to Sacramento State, of all programs. He just canceled a visit to UNC as quarterback prospects leave Belichick’s camp. On3 currently displays a 100% chance of Rashada landing with the Hornets. There are also no other teams listed in his offers. This indicates that the Hornets and Rashada are close to finalizing the deal.

Fans have put their detective hats on, theorizing that the only way this could be possible was if money was involved. “Sac state had money don’t they? Gonna put them on the map,” wrote one user. And it’s true; the Hornets, who currently hold a 3-9 record, can become a more prominent team with Rashada on the roster. On the other hand, his lawsuit against Billy Napier is finally on the move.

After the court rejected a dismissal plea by Florida, it announced a court date for the trial to officially begin. On3 reported, “According to Mitch Gilfillan, a court date has been set for the lawsuit between Jaden Rashada and Florida head coach Billy Napier. The trial will take place on July 20, 2026, while all depositions must be presented by Oct. 1, 2025.” This truly seems to be the year that things seem to be kick-starting for Rashada, both on and off the field.
