Jaden Rashada on the move again: Former Pittsburg star enters transfer portal

Former Pittsburg quarterback Jaden Rashada is in the transfer portal after spending his freshman year at Arizona State. 

Rashada posted the news on his Instagram account.

“To ASU, I want to first start off by thanking my teammates, we shared a bond that I’ll remember forever,” Rashada wrote. “Love each and everyone of you guys, thankful for the time we spent together and wish you guys the best of luck.”

Before choosing Arizona State, the East Bay native was the subject of a tumultuous recruiting saga that made national news when he de-committed from the University of Florida after a reported multi-million dollar Name, Image and Likeness deal fell through.

Before Florida, Rashada was committed to Miami.

Rashada eventually landed at Arizona State, his father Harlen’s alma mater.

In three games with the Sun Devils — two early in the season, then in the finale — Rashada threw for 485 yards and four touchdowns and three interceptions. He missed much of the season with a knee injury.

“I’ll be entering the transfer portal seeking the best fit for my career,” Rashada wrote. 

Because a student-athlete can play up to four games and still count the year as a redshirt season, Rashada will have four years of eligibility remaining.

As a four-star quarterback at Pittsburg, Rashada threw for 5,816 yards and 70 touchdowns while leading the Pirates to the 2022 North Coast Section Division I title. He was named to the all-Bay Area News Group team as a junior and senior.

Rashada started his high school career at Liberty in Brentwood. He then spent a short amount of time at IMG Academy in Florida before transferring to Pittsburg.
