Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier was named in a lawsuit by Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Jaden Rashada.
by former signee and current Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Jaden Rashada while at the 2024 SEC spring meetings.
In it, Rashada and his legal team claim that the three lied and failed to make good on a promised $13.85-million NIL deal that led him to flip his commitment from Miami to Florida. The claim explains that an initial $11 million offer grew to $13.85 million, which was to be paid out over four years. Prior to Rashada signing with Florida, the Gator Collective sent a letter stating its intentions to terminate the deal, the complaint says. However, Rashada’s lawyers claim Castro-Walker and Napier made promises that the deal would be fulfilled, which never happened.
"LifeWallet nor John H. Ruíz ever had any deal with Rashada that amounted to 9.5-million dollars. LifeWallet had a very small deal with Rashada while he was a big-school student in California. Rashada and his father are stand up individuals. To date, I personally have a very good relationship with both,". "They both know we dealt with them honestly and fairly as we have always done with all NIL players. LifeWallet has a track record of complying with all of its NIL deals.
