Former University of Florida recruit Jaden Rashada sued football coach Billy Napier, a millionaire donor and others Tuesday, for decommitting him from rival University of Miami last year with the promise of a $13.85 million payday that he never met.
Rashada, now a quarterback at the University of Georgia, alleges in a lawsuit filed in Pensacola federal court that UF donor Hugh Hathcock promised large payments, including a $500,000 signing bonus. The university promised to prepare for his life immediately. According to the lawsuit, Hathcock suggested he could secure Rashada’s father’s job.
