Jaden Rashada has made up his mind to join the Miami Hurricanes over Florida Gators. Listed as the 45th overall recruit and the seventh-best passer in the 247Sports Matrix, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound four-star quarterback from Pittsburg, California, made his commitment to the Hurricanes. Rashada decided on Miami after making his fifth and final official visit to Coral Gables earlier this week, rejecting Florida, LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Ole Miss.

Rashada wrote as part of a larger statement on Twitter, “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. After a lot of prayers, and 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. […] Go Gators!!!”
