Jaden Rashada gave Billy Napier a game-changing commitment late Thursday night when he flipped his verbal pledge from Miami to Florida.

The Pittsburg, California, native had been committed to the Hurricanes since June 26, 2022; however, things have certainly changed.

Rashada announced the news via his Twitter account Thursday night.

“Over the past few months, I’ve been weighing my options heavily … I have dreamed of playing SEC football since I was a little kid,” Rashada wrote. “After a lot of prayer, conversations with my family and those close to me, I have decided to change my commitment and play for the University of Florida.

“I have tremendous respect for Miami and what they are going to accomplish there but I have watched this season and Coach Napier and his team are building something very special in The Swamp and I want to be a part of it.”

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound signal caller is ranked as the nation’s No. 6 overall quarterback and the No. 17 overall prospect, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. He’s the No. 5 ranked player in the state of California.

Rashada’s commitment to Florida is massive for Napier and company. To win big at a program, teams and coaches have to have elite quarterbacks. This gives Napier that and much more in his first full recruiting cycle.
