Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe Catholic four-star EDGE Elijah Rushing received an offer from Louisville on Thursday. He announced the news on social media.

Rushing is the No. 22 overall prospect and No. 2 EDGE in the 2024 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 2 player in Arizona.

On3 rates Rushing higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2024 On300, he is the No. 7 overall prospect in the country.

The 6-foot-6, 225 pound prospect has received 28 offers. Louisville’s 2024 recruiting class contains one commitment in Homestead (Fla.) four-star running back Isaac Brown, the No. 168 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus.

Rushing took visits this summer to programs including Georgia and Michigan State. He will also be returning this fall to Florida, the alma mater of his father.

“This was a big offer for sure,” Rushing previously told On3. “It is a blessing to be offered by the school my dad played at. It also means a lot because this offer shows me the SEC is taking notice of me more too.”

Rushing has an On3 NIL Valuation of $102K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Elijah Rushing On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Elijah Rushing:

“Tall, rangy pass rusher with projectable tools. Has a big frame for a rising junior, checking in at 6-foot-5.8, 224 pounds prior to his junior season. Had a good sophomore year, tallying 7.5 sacks while primarily playing defensive end in a three-man front. Shows disruptive qualities both as a pass rusher and pursuit defender. Plays with good bend, particularly for a taller prospect. Posted encouraging athletic testing marks in the combine setting. Will need to continue to add functional strength as he fills out his frame and progresses as a player.”
