Rashada selects ASU after Florida-NIL deal fallout

Kenny Dillingham got his first huge commitment as Arizona State head coach on Wednesday when ESPN 300 quarterback Jaden Rashada committed to the Sun Devils.Rashada is the No. 31 possibility out of Pittsburg High School in Pittsburg, California. He had signed with Florida in the early finalizing duration with the help of a name, image and likeness deal for more than $13.5 million with a Florida-based collective. But the Associated Press later reported that the Gator Collective terminated its contract with Rashada, which was to be paid over four years.Rashada was released from his national letter of intent by the Gators in early January and he started searching for a brand-new school. The possible suitors consisted of Cal, Washington, TCU and Arizona State. He took sees to TCU and Arizona State and his choice relatively boiled down to those 2 schools.Editor’s Picks 2 Associated” Simply wish to keep this brief and let it be known I’ll be going to Arizona State University, my youth dream school,

engage in NIL deals with Arizona State’s collective previous to Rashada’s signing.The relationship Rashada had constructed with the training staff and the truth that Rashada’s dad, Harlen, played football at Arizona State all factored into his decision on the day prior to the February signing period.Dillingham has been on the task for just a few months, but has actually been active in rebuilding the roster through high school recruiting and the transfer website. In addition to Rashada, he is also bringing in Notre Dame

quarterback transfer Drew Pyne, BYU quarterback transfer Jacob Conover and three-star Israel Carter out of Centennial High School in Corona, California.Rashada is the very first ESPN 300 dedication for Dillingham and the Arizona State personnel and provides a boost of momentum for the program heading into the 2024 cycle.
