One of the top targets in the 2024 recruiting class will be on hand for the Oregon Ducks’ road game against the Arizona Wildcats this weekend.
5-star EDGE rusher Elijah Rushing has announced that he will be in attendance for the matchup. Rushing, who is the young brother of Cruz Rushing, a walk-on at Oregon, is the No. 1 ranked EDGE in the 2024 class, ranked by 247Sports as the No. 15 overall player in the nation.
Rushing has been a major priority for the Ducks, and he was on campus for a visit earlier this year, where he told Ducks Wire that he enjoyed his time greatly.
“From what they told me, they seem to have a great vision for the future of Oregon,” Rushing said. “They’re talking about how they want to and were going to build a dynasty at Oregon. It’s great hearing that they have that mentality.”
There is still a long way to go in his recruitment, and Rushing is among the most coveted players in the nation, standing at 6-foot-6, 235 pounds. The Ducks seem to be in a good position in this race early on, though. A big win over Rushing’s home-state team would likely help a lot as well.
