Jaden Rashada Transfers to Sacramento State, Fourth School Since 2023

Jaden Rashada, a former top quarterback recruit who previously played at Arizona State and was most recently at Georgia, has transferred to Sacramento State, marking his fourth school since 2023. Rashada played three games as a freshman at Arizona State before injuries and depth chart competition led to limited playing time, and he did not see the field during his stint at Georgia. At Sacramento State, he will compete with returning starter Carson Conklin for the quarterback position under new head coach Brennan Marion. Rashada's transfer is considered a significant recruiting win for Sacramento State, which is seeking to move up to the FBS level in 2026. His journey highlights both the opportunities and volatility presented by the transfer portal and NIL era in college football. Rashada reportedly chose Sacramento State over other interested programs, including Western Kentucky and North Carolina.
