Rutgers football extends an offer to Elijah King

Ohio defensive end Elijah King offered by Rutgers football this week.

It has been a busy few weeks for Elijah King as the three-star defensive end from Ohio is racking up multiple Power Five offers. The latest Power Five offer came on Monday night from Rutgers football.

King, a 6-foot-6, 230-pound defensive end from Gahanna Lincoln (Columbus, OH), has seen offers come in from Minnesota, Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana over the past month. The class of 2024 recruit also holds Power Five offers from Cincinnati and Iowa State.

He is ranked a three-star recruit by 247Sports. He is the No. 65 recruit in Ohio and the No. 75 edge in the nation.

Gahanna is a powerhouse program in Ohio, finishing last season 13-2.

Rutgers has pulled in a couple of players from Ohio over the past few seasons. Kwabena Asamoah, an interior offensive lineman from Ohio, earned several starts for Rutgers in 2022 as a true freshman.
