(1:51)Open Extended ReactionsWell-traveled quarterback Jaden Rashada has settled his lawsuit against former Florida football coach Billy Napier and a school booster, according to court documents and Rashada's attorney. Rashada sued Napier and Gators booster Hugh Hathcock in 2024, claiming that both men defrauded him by backing out of promises for a name, image and likeness contract worth as much as $13.85 million. The attorneys who represented Napier and Hathcock in the case did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment Tuesday night. Napier told reporters he was "comfortable with my actions" in Rashada's recruitment shortly after the initial complaints was filed. Rashada claimed in the lawsuit that Hathcock and Napier promised him seven-figure sums during the recruiting process to lure him from a prior commitment to play for Miami.
