Slightly off topic: Drew Pyne's ex-teammate from ASU makes his choice
Most folks here know of the Jaden Rashada fiasco, starting with his signing with the Miami Hurricanes because of a 9.5 million dollar NIL deal.
He reneged, and signed with the Florida Gators for a promised $13.5 million, but the group of boosters that was supposed to put forth the money reneged on him.
He signed with Arizona State (the year that Pyne was there), got the crap beaten out of him (as did Pyne), and then transferred out to Georgia, where he hoped to become "the man."
But, as Ric Flair profoundly said, "to be the man, you gotta beat the man. Woooooooo!" and Rashada couldn't beat the man.
So, he's signing with his fifth school at the glorious Sacramento State University, now that he's a true junior.
I guess he's not going to get that big payday, unless he somehow wins that lawsuit against just about everyone at the University of Florida.

This saga ensures that he will fall further in the draft than Shedeur... If he ever makes it.

He's hoping for a Cam Newton-like turnaround
By all rights, he should be lighting up the stats in the FCS, and could transfer again to another FBS school for one more year.
The way I see it, if he can't hack it in the FCS, then he's finished for good.
The enemy of good is better. Tough, tough life lesson for him.

His old man milked him for all he could, now he has to go earn it.
Feel bad for the kid as he has been given terrible advice by his greedy representatives and now he has to play catch up on learning how to play QB at the D1 level.
It'll be interesting to see, if he plays and does well this year, if his pops will go back to chasing the biggest payday or let the kid develop into the QB he potentially could be.
