Rashada has had a tumultuous career since being a four-star in the class of 2023. He committed and signed to play for the Florida Gators in late December 2022, but decommitted from the school on Jan. 20, 2023, after a name, image and likeness licensing contract worth a reported $13 million fell through. He has a pending lawsuit against the university over the NIL agreement.
Rashada signed with the Arizona Sun Devils on Feb. 2, 2023, and as a freshman, he produced decent results. He totaled 485 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions in three games. However, with quarterback Sam Leavitt winning the starting job, Rashada chose to enter the transfer portal in April.
Five days later, Rashada transferred to the Georgia Bulldogs. He was expected to win the backup role to Carson Beck, but he lost the battle to Gunner Stockton, who started the 2025 Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame. Rashada entered the portal a second time on Jan. 5, 2025.
After he spent several months in the transfer portal, the Sacramento State Hornets, a rising football program out of the Big Sky conference in the Football Championship Subdivision, gave him a chance. He transferred on April 25 and was named the starter.
Unfortunately, his time in the spotlight was abbreviated again. In the first game of the season against South Dakota State, he passed for 107 yards and an interception in the 20-3 loss. He suffered an undisclosed injury and only completed six passes for 157 yards and a touchdown during the rest of the season. So, Rashada entered the transfer portal again.
It has been a rapid fall from grace for the former four-star recruit. It seems the best course of action for him to start would be at the FCS level again, although he could follow former Sacramento State coach Brennan Marion to Colorado to be a backup.
