Jaden Rashada Signs With Mississippi State, Returning to the SEC

Mississippi State adds an experienced option as it reshapes a crowded quarterback room.

Overview

  • School officials confirmed the former four-star quarterback has joined the Bulldogs from the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining.
  • Rashada will compete for snaps behind projected leader Kamario Taylor, who logged 629 passing yards, 5 touchdowns and 458 rushing yards with 8 rushing scores in 2025.
  • His recruitment included a collapsed NIL agreement reported near $13.85 million tied to Florida, leading to a lawsuit naming then-coach Billy Napier and others that remains unresolved.
  • Rashada’s college stops include Arizona State in 2023 (44-of-82 for 485 yards, 4 TDs, 3 INTs before a season-ending knee injury), Georgia in 2024 (no game action) and Sacramento State in 2025 (17-of-42 for 264 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT).
  • The addition comes as coach Jeff Lebby overhauls the roster, with Mississippi State bringing in more than 20 transfers and bolstering the position with AJ Swann and high school signee Brodie McWhorter.
