Hot on the heels of landing his first EDGE commitment of the 2023 cycle, defensive ends coach Miguel Chavis is putting in work with the 2024 class as well. Targeting one of the top defensive ends in 2024, Chavis has extended an offer to Tuscon, Arizona’s Elijah Rushing.
Rushing is considered a five-star edge prospect in the 247Sports composite rankings and a four-star player with On3, Rivals, and ESPN.
He’s an athletic edge prospect that displays great length. Rushing uses it well to engage and shed blockers to get into the backfield. At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, Rushing can still add some size and bulk while continuing to build his athletic profile heading into his junior season at Salpointe Catholic.
Rushing is currently a top-five EDGE prospect and ranks as a top 25 prospect overall according to ESPN, 247Sports, and On3.
