Jaden Rashada, a former UF signee and top 50 prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, filed a lawsuit against Florida Head Coach Billy Napier, Gator booster Hugh Hathcock, and former staffer Marcus Castro-Walker for a name, image, and likeness deal gone wrong. The lawsuit claimed Rashada had a 9.5 million dollar offer if he played at Miami. Rashada committed to the Hurricanes, then flipped to the Gators after receiving a name, image and likeness offer of 13.85 million dollars over four years, according to the lawsuit.
According to Rashada’s lawsuit, the highly-touted QB was promised to be given 500,000 thousand dollars for signing with UF and one million dollars from Head Coach Billy Napier.
