Nov 26, 2023
Horrible outing in return to action
Rashada was 10-for-22 passing for 82 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 59-23 defeat versus Arizona. He also had six rushes for 18 yards.
ANALYSIS
Although the youngster has a cannon arm, he appeared lost at times and unable to escape Arizona's pass rush. The highly-touted quarterback needs more reps to meet his potential, but he'll likely begin the 2024 season atop Arizona State's depth chart.
Nov 25, 2023
Not starting but playing
Rashada will be available and play but not as the Sun Devils' starting quarterback Saturday against Arizona, Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Trenton Bourguet will be the starting quarterback Saturday. While the recovered Rashada will mark his return in Week 13, he may be limited if Bourguet impresses early or at all for that matter. The once-high promise Rashada had for Week 13 is now much more limited.
Nov 24, 2023
Expected to be starting QB
Rashada (leg) is expected to be the Sun Devils' starting quarterback for their game Saturday against Arizona, Chris Karpman of 247Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Rashada completed 34 passes for 403 yards and three touchdowns across his first two games before a leg injury kept him out of action. Arizona State's other quarterbacks did not impress, which made it highly possible that Rashada would regain his starting role once he was healthy. It seems all of that is coming to fruition just before the Sun Devils conclude their 2023 season Saturday.
Nov 22, 2023
Could be available Saturday
Arizona State's head coach Kenny Dillingham says there is a chance Rashada (leg) plays against Arizona on Saturday, Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In what will be the battle between Arizona-based schools, Rashada could make a triumphant return following his months-long recovery from a leg injury. Rashada was Arizona State's starting quarterback until Week 3, which began a nine-game absence that could increase to 10 if he needs to sit out again Saturday. Rashada's availability likely pushes down Trenton Bourguet to backup duty.
Nov 21, 2023
First-team drills Tuesday
Rashada (leg) is getting first-team reps in the Sun Devils' team practice Tuesday, Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rashada getting first-team reps is a significant step in the right direction towards his full recovery. The quarterback has been out since Week 3 with the leg injury, which caused him to concede a starting role he has immediately excelled with and seen his fellow teammates struggle with across 2023. So ideally for the Sun Devils, they finally have him available against Arizona on Saturday.
Nov 18, 2023
Available as emergency option
Rashada (leg) could be available as an emergency option Saturday against Oregon, Chris Karpman of 247Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Rashada has been dealing with a leg injury but has progressed of late and is at least available in some capacity Saturday if quarterback Trenton Bourguet has to exit the game for any reason. Still, Rashada is unlikely to see significant snaps against the Ducks.
Nov 15, 2023
Not ready for Week 12
Rashada (leg) will not be ready for the Sun Devils' game Saturday against Oregon, Chris Karpman of 247Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite participating in the Sun Devils' team practice Tuesday, Rashada will sit out their upcoming game. At best, he will be an emergency option, though that role is unlikely to be fulfilled. However, head coach Kenny Dillingham said Rashada looks really good and is getting healthier, making his availability status somewhat promising before the Sun Devils host Arizona on Nov. 25.
Nov 14, 2023
Participates in Tuesday practice
Rashada (leg) is participating in Arizona State's team practice Tuesday, Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ideally for Rashada, practicing on Tuesday is a strong sign of his future availability. A leg injury has prevented him from playing since Week 2, when he was barely multiple weeks into being considered the starting quarterback for Arizona State.
Nov 11, 2023
Out vs UCLA
Rashada (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against UCLA, Michelle Gardner of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Rashada has been nursing a leg injury that has kept him out for multiple weeks. His next chance to suit up will be in next week's game against Oregon.
Nov 4, 2023
Absent from warmups
Rashada (leg) wasn't seen warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Utah, Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rashada hasn't played since Week 2 due to a leg injury but returned to practice this week. However, his absence from warmups is a bad sign of his availability Saturday.
Oct 31, 2023
Returns to practice
Rashada (leg) participated in Arizona State's team practice Tuesday, Chris Karpman of 247Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Rivals.com, Rashada participated in positional drills with full pads on for the first time since Week 2, when he first suffered his leg injury. Nearly two months have passed since then, but Arizona State's quarterback situation remains in flux. Should Rashada be able to recover relatively quickly, he has a decent chance to reclaim the starting QB position conceded because of injury.
Oct 16, 2023
Continues to recover
Rashada (leg) is expected to become increasingly involved in the weekly gameplan as he continues his rehab process, Noah Furtado of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rashada, who suffered a significant leg injury against Oklahoma State, continues to work his way back from the injury. The true freshman quarterback opened the season atop the Sun Devils depth chart, throwing for 403 passing yards (34-of-60) three touchdowns and one interception across two appearances. Rashada is expected to see increased involvement in weekly gameplans moving forward, but it remains uncertain if he will suit up against the Huskies.
Sep 17, 2023
Out four-to-six weeks
Rashada (undisclosed) is out for four-to-six weeks, Noah Furtado of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Arizona State's head coach Kenny Dillingham, Rashada will miss significant time with an injury that has been "lingering since high school" and one he re-aggravated against Oklahoma State on Sept. 9. Dillingham also hinted at the possibility of Rashada redshirting 2023, considering he logged only two starts this year and is expected to sit out a while. Rashada's recent status is highly unfortunate, considering the freshman only emerged as Arizona State's No. 1 quarterback after an impressive fall camp and did well across his first few games of college football.
Sep 16, 2023
Won't play Saturday
Rashad is unavailable for Saturday's game versus Fresno State, Chris Karpman of 247Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Rashada is coming off a mediocre showing versus Oklahoma State last week but will not play Saturday for an undisclosed reason. Notre Dame transfer Drew Pyne (hamstring) is available, and Trenton Bourget remains on hand as potential options to start under center.
Sep 9, 2023
Uneven game in loss
Rashada was 16-for-29 passing for 167 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 27-15 loss against Oklahoma State. He also had five rushes for three yards.
ANALYSIS
Rashada's first crack at quality competition was a mixed bag. 'Variance-filled' would be a kind way to describe his performance, as he looked calm and relaxed one minute and frantic the next. The Cowboys did a good job at keeping Rashada in check, and though he caught them flatfooted a few times, his efforts fell well short of what was expected. He'll try to right the ship next week against Fresno State.
Aug 31, 2023
Efficient in debut
Rashada was 18-for-31 passing for 236 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 24-21 win against Southern Utah.
ANALYSIS
After an extremely tight race in fall camp, Rashada emerged as the starting quarterback. He showed why he prevailed in the opener, logging a mistake-free game while throwing two touchdowns. The SunDevils almost gave the game away after the long weather delay, but Rashada definitely played well enough to continue in the role.
