Jaden Rashada

Rashada initially attended Liberty High School in Brentwood, California before transferring to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida after his freshman year.

[2] He spent the summer at IMG, but moved back to California before the start of the football season and enrolled at Pittsburg High School.

[5] He is believed to have been the first high school football player to sign an endorsement deal after reaching an agreement with a recruitment app in December 2021.

[13] On May 21, 2024, it was announced that Rashada was suing Florida coach Billy Napier and Gators booster Hugh Hathcock over the failed deal.

[22] The Gators’ backers also arranged a payment to Rashada to help pay off money owed to University of Miami booster John Ruiz after the quarterback flipped his verbal commitment from the Hurricanes, per the suit.

Rashada is the first known college athlete to sue his coach or a booster due to a dispute of a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal.
