TEMPE, Ariz. – Jaden Rashada’s journey to becoming a Sun Devil can be described as anything but traditional.
It’s not everyday you see a multi-million dollar Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deal wither away in front of your face before you even step on an NCAA football field – and then proceed to get called horrific names online by trolls because of it.
The story of Rashada’s release from his National Letter of Intent to the University of Florida after his NIL deal went south is well-documented and over-played at this point in time. Even so, that doesn’t stop the former four-star recruit out of Pittsburg, California, from lighting up the practice facility with a smile.
