The Oregon Ducks made some big ground earlier this year when they announced three-star safety Cruz Rushing was committing to play in Eugene. Rushing will be a solid piece for the Ducks, and it gave Dan Lanning and his staff an in-road to Cruz’s younger brother, Elijah.
Elijah Rushing is a four-star edge rusher from Salpointe Catholic in Arizona. He stands 6 feet, 5 inches and 220 pounds. He is the No. 1 edge rusher in the 2024 class, per 247Sports.
Rushing made a trip to Eugene earlier this year to check out the campus, and it was announced on Wednesday that he will come back with his older brother next weekend for another visit. Here is what he had to say from his first trip to Eugene:
“They seem to have a great vision for the future of Oregon,” Rushing told me after the visit. “They’re talking about how they want to and are going to build a dynasty at Oregon.”
2022 3-star commit @CruzRushing2022 and 2024 5-star edge-rusher @elijah_rushing visiting Oregon next weekend. Cruz moves to Eugene this summer.
