A week ago, not many Oregon Duck fans would believe you if you told them that 5-star EDGE Elijah Rushing would commit to the Arizona Wildcats over them. A month before that, the reaction would be the same. Heck, even a year ago, that would have been hard to believe.
Rushing has long been thought to be a heavy Oregon lean. In the end, though, the 5-star ended up committing to the hometown Wildcats on Thursday afternoon, throwing a wrench in the Ducks’ 2024 class.
Rushing is rated as the No. 8 overall player in the cycle, and the No. 1 EDGE in the nation. He had taken numerous visits to Oregon over the past years, but a late push from Arizona was able to sway things in their direction.
