Transfer QB Jaden Rashada set to visit Georgia
The spring transfer portal opened earlier this week and DawgsHQ has been reporting for months that Georgia would be in the market for a quarterback. The Bulldogs are now set to host their first target at the position in Arizona State’s Jaden Rashada.
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Rashada will be in Athens on Monday for a visit. Rashada officially entered the transfer portal on Friday after announcing his intentions to do so on Thursday.
The former four-star prospect was a true freshman in 2023 and was able to take a redshirt after appearing in just three games, giving him four years of eligibility left. He started the first two games of the season for the Sun Devils before suffering an undisclosed injury that caused him to miss the next nine games. He returned to play in the regular-season finale against Arizona.
When the dust settled on Rashada’s freshman season, he had completed 44 of 82 passes (53.7 percent) for 485 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. He also carred the ball 14 times for 23 yards.
Rashada made news coming out of high school when he requested to be let out of his signed letter of intent to Florida. According to published reports, the Gators were unable to live up to their NIL promises to Rashada, causing him to look around. The California native settled on Arizona State with respected offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham taking over as head coach.
As a prospect Rashada was ranked as the No. 73 overall prospect in the 2023 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average of all four sites that publish recruiting rankings. He was the nation’s No. 6 quarterback and the No. 6 prospect in California.
Georgia currently has three quarterbacks on its 2023 roster. Carson Beck is entrenched as the starter while Gunner Stockton is projected as the backup. Stockton has played less than 100 snaps in his college football career. True freshman Ryan Puglisi is the No. 3 quarterback but missed the G-Day spring scrimmage last weekend with a leg injury.
