Man, Jaden Rashada’s journey through college football has been like watching a cat chase a laser pointer. Seriously, fourth school? Not something you hear every day. So, the latest buzz is he’s off to Sacramento State. Yeah, I know, right? Doesn’t sound like a typical choice, but hey, life’s full of surprises.
I saw it on a couple of sites — 247 Sports, On3 — those folks seem pretty convinced. And some guy named Hayes Fawcett? Apparently, he’s got the inside scoop and says Jaden’s all in with the Hornets.
Here’s the twisty bit. Jaden was this big-deal, five-star recruit out of high school. Everyone expected he’d be the next big thing. Started out at Florida, but that went sideways fast. Something about an NIL deal gone wrong, and then there was a lawsuit. Messy stuff. Long story short, he got out of his Letter of Intent there and packed his bags for Arizona State.
And you know what’s wild? At ASU, the kid showed promise. Three games, 485 yards. Not bad, but then bang — knee injury. Sidelined him. And just when he was getting back into it in 2024, a thumb injury. Bad luck followed him like a shadow. After a quick pit stop at Georgia, he’s on the run again. Thought he’d end up at Western Kentucky, but nah, Sacramento State it is.
Sac State’s got some fresh faces, too. Brennan Marion, a name you might’ve heard breathing life into UNLV’s offense, is now their head coach. Seems like they’re shaking things up over there. Plus, there’s chatter about who they picked up for the basketball team. But Jaden’s the headline for now.
Anyway, it’s interesting to watch. Will Sacramento light the fuse for Rashada’s career, or is this just another twist in his saga? I guess only time will tell…
