The redshirt freshman Georgia football quarterback is reportedly set to enter the transfer portal for the second consecutive season. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported the move on Sunday, a couple of days after the Bulldogs were eliminated from the College Football Playoff in a quarterfinal loss to Notre Dame.
Rashada transferred to Georgia from Arizona State, where he played his true freshman season. In 2023, he appeared in four games with the Sun Devils, completing 44 of 82 passes (53.7%) for 485 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. Rashada’s father, Harlen, played collegiately for the Sun Devils from 1992-94.
Arizona State added Michigan State transfer Sam Leavitt this past offseason and reached the CFP quarterfinal, following Rashada’s departure to Georgia.
When he signs with his next school, it will be the fourth program Rashada has joined since graduating as part of the 2023 recruiting class. He initially committed to Miami on June 26, 2022, over Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M. He flipped his commitment to the Gators on Nov. 11, 2022, after signing a four-year, $13.85 million contract with the Gator Collective, the defunct NIL collective for Gators athletics.
Rashada eventually requested and received a release from Florida on Jan. 20, 2023, after his reported NIL deal went unpaid. He then sued Gators head coach Billy Napier over the NIL matter, and the case is currently being litigated in court.
Rashada did not appear in a game for the Bulldogs in 2024. He served as the third-string QB behind Gunner Stockton and backup Ryan Puglisi in the CFP quarterfinal following the season-ending injury to Carson Beck in the SEC championship game.
According to 247 Sports Composite Rankings, Rashada was the No. 81 overall in the 2023 recruiting class, the No. 7 quarterback and the No. 6 overall player in California. He attended Pittsburg High School in Pittsburg, California and held 32 reported scholarship offers.
