Rashada appeared in three games for the Sun Devils, passing for 485 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions.
Quarterback Jaden Rashada, a top transfer prospect, has announced his decision to join the Georgia Bulldogs football team. Rashada spent the 2023 season at Arizona State but missed most of it due to a knee injury and offseason thumb surgery. He initially signed with Florida but was released from his national letter of intent after an NIL deal fell through, leading him to sign with Arizona State instead.
Rashada appeared in three games for the Sun Devils, passing for 485 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. With Georgia returning starter Carson Beck and redshirt freshman Gunner Stockton on the roster, Rashada's addition provides depth to the Bulldogs' quarterback room.
Meanwhile, over 2,300 scholarship college football players have already entered the transfer portal at the FBS level during this spring window. More than 1,400 players have announced commitments as of April 25th. One such player is Tommy McIntosh from Wisconsin, who has yet to appear in a game for the Badgers and has also entered the transfer portal.
The NCAA is currently investigating Florida's handling of Rashada's situation after he asked to be released from his national letter of intent due to unfulfilled promises by the Gators. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is looking for a fourth scholarship quarterback, and Rashada could potentially fill that role.

The author expresses his opinion that Rashada transferred to Georgia to be the one-day starting quarterback (editorializing). He also states that Stockton won't make things easy for Rashada and Puglisi in their competition for the backup spot (opinion).
He is entering his third year in the program and received a ton of reps in the offense this spring. While he has just 19 pass attempts in-game action, Stockton has taken countless reps at practice.
Stockton was well aware of Smart’s desire to add a fourth scholarship quarterback. He said as much when speaking to reporters this spring.
But make no mistake about it, Rashada transferred to Georgia to be the one-day starting quarterback.
Fallacies
(95%)
The author makes several statements about the abilities and potential of Carson Beck and Gunner Stockton without providing any evidence or logical reasoning to support these claims. This can be considered an appeal to authority fallacy as the author is relying on Kirby Smart's opinions instead of providing evidence or logical reasoning. Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article, such as 'make no mistake about it,' and 'best illustrates the modern age of college football.' These phrases do not add any value to the analysis and can be considered unnecessary and distracting.

][Twitter user @cjogara] Kirby signing Jaden Rashada would be at least 92% to troll Florida.
[][Twitter user @UGAWire] We're skeptical Jaden Rashada will play at Georgia until he signs. Georgia already has had a transfer quarterback (UNLV's Jayden Maiava) flip his commitment
[][Twitter user @BallJunkieGa98] Hearing Jaden Rashada WANTS to be a Georgia Bulldog… I imagine if we take him, Kirby will let him get a few snaps, if up, down in Jacksonville next season. Just to twist the knife!
[][Twitter user @UGAWire] Georgia has so many ways it could torture Florida this fall. 1. Failed UF signee QB Jaden Rashada 2. Transfer RB Trevor Etienne 3. Getting Billy Napier (on the hot seat) fired or knocking the Gators from bowl eligibility 11/2/24 we will find out
[][Twitter user @JayJDONDA] Jaden Rashada won't play a meaningful down in Athens and whoever is advising him is doing him a disservice to go somewhere to be third string with another QB coming in next year plus most likely UGA looking into the portal again when Beck leaves
