5-star Elijah Rushing, No. 8 player in 2024, to visit Oregon for Spring Game

The list of blue-chip prospects who will be in Eugene for the annual Oregon Ducks spring game is starting to get incredibly long.

Already, a total of five 5-star players have confirmed that they will be in town, with 5-star EDGE Elijah Rushing being the latest to do so. Rushing confirmed to me on Friday morning that he plans to be in Eugene for the spring game. Max Torres with Ducks Digest had the first report.

Rushing has made a number of visits to Eugene over the past several years, including a couple in the last calendar year. He is rated by 247Sports as the No. 8 overall player in the 2024 class, and the No. 1 EDGE rusher. Per the 247Sports Composite, he sits at No. 19 in the nation, and No. 3 at EDGE in 2024.

Rushing will be joined by 5-star QB Dylan Raiola, 5-star S K.J. Bolden, 5-star EDGE Colin Simmons, and reportedly 5-star S Xavier Filsaime, per 247Sports Steve Wiltfong (paid).
