LOOK: Top-10 recruit Elijah Rushing visiting Oregon, coach Dan Lanning

Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe Catholic four-star EDGE Elijah Rushing is visiting Oregon today and got some early morning time with head coach Dan Lanning.

Rushing is the No. 19 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The 2024 On300 ranking has Rushing as the No. 9 prospect and No. 2 EDGE prospect in the class. The only other EDGE ranked ahead of him is Washington (D.C.) Friendship Collegiate Academy four-star EDGE Dylan Stewart.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $115k. 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 Scouting Summary

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.
